For our 11th assignment, we answer questions based on chapter 11 “Social Learning: Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory”. We as a class must describe a learning situation where someone might have low self-efficacy. How would you determine if they have low self-efficacy? What behaviors and attitudes would they exhibit? According to Lefrancois, self-efficacy is defined as “The judgement we make about how effective we are in given situations”. Judgment of self-efficacy are important in determining an individual’s choice of activities and in influencing the amount of interest and effort expended. Self-efficacy reflects confidence in the ability to apply control over one's own motivation, behavior, and social environment. For high self-efficacy a…

Self-efficacy theory was started from the Social Cognitive hypothesis by Alberta Bendura. Self-efficacy is the conviction that one has the ability to create that impact by finishing a given errand or action identified with that competency (Nursing Theories, 2012). It identifies with an individual’s view of their capacity to achieve an objective. The conviction one is equipped for performing in a specific way to achieve certain outcomes and the desire one can accomplish a goal, and produce a positive result. Furthermore, the rationale for selecting the theory is due to Bendura’s cognitive model that is guided by 3 factors that influence self-efficacy, such as behaviors, environment, and personal/cognitive factors (Nursing…
This essay will describe the impact of self-efficacy on 200m butterfly swimmer Misty Hyman. It will show how Bandura’s theory explains Misty’s performance in the Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000. This theory will be described in details and linked with Misty Hyman performance.…
Often times the observer will find certain characteristics favorable and will imitate or attempt to copy the model’s behavior. Some of these characteristics may include talent, power, attractive looks, intelligence or popularity. For example, a young boy may watch his father shave every morning before work. After observing the model (father) for a few days, the young boy may attempt to imitate that behavior by using toys or other play objects from witnessing his father’s actions. It is evident through the social learning theory that learning will likely occur if there is close identification between the observer and the model and if the observer also has a good deal of self-efficacy. Self-efficacy ideas operate as an integral set of determinants that involve human action, affect and motivation that operate through cognitive, affective and motivational processes of intervening (Bandura, 1989). Identification develops a particularly close connection between the person being imitated and the observer. The behavior will more than likely be achieved if the observer completely believes they have the ability to follow through with the action that is imitated (Bandura,…

Statement: People generally put more trust in what they have learned from themselves than in what they have learned from themselves than in what they learn from others. Few people however are really motivated to learn anything on their own. They are much more apt to learn when others are willing to teach them. Even though learning from others means occasionally learning things that are not useful or important, people are still better off when they learn from others.…

Self-efficacy is a social psychological construct that is conceptualized from an agentic perspective and refers to the motivation to perceive oneself as a causal agent. A recent work place intervention within a division of a large Australian retail organization was designed to empower workers through the 4 sources of selfefficacy information: enactive attainment, vicarious experience, verbal persuasion and emotional arousal. This information was delivered via a Forum Theatre setting, a technique traditionally used as a catalyst for political action amongst oppressed groups. Preliminary results suggest the intervention’s format has lead to an increase in employee self-efficacy, empowerment and engagement as well as improved organizational performance. This paper describes the theoretical nexus between self-efficacy, work motivation and employee engagement and outlines a research program utilizing Forum Theatre as a vehicle to shift power to workers while concurrently meeting organizational objectives. The use of Forum Theatre suggests that another world is indeed possible for disengaged and alienated workers, a world where they are empowered.…

Information was collected from teachers, principals, and student test data to answer the established research questions.…
Self-efficacy is defined as “the belief in one’s capabilities to organize and execute the courses of action required to manage prospective situations” (Cherry, What is Self-Efficacy?, 2014). Self-efficacy is not the same as self-esteem, which is how valuable an individual perceives themselves to be. An individual’s self-efficacy is the belief they are capable of accomplishing a task, even when the task is challenging.…
