- self-efficacy
- one's belief in one's ability to influence events that affect one's life
- sources of self efficacy (and anti self efficacy):
- mastery experiences, ie. direct experiences of success (or failure)
- social modeling, ie. see similar people succeed (or fail)
- social persuasion, ie. encouragement by someone else, ie. "you can do it"
- related: external belief (ex. parent's believing a student is capable)
- correct misperceptions of somatic feedback, attribution error
- one's belief in the implications of physiological response that alters self-efficacy
- ex. for physical tasks: see fatigue as low efficacy, but it is normal
- ex. "butterfly in stomach" making one more nervous
- correctly attribute success, failure to one's actions or chance, etc.
- increase capacity
- ex. for physical tasks: build strength, stamina
- ex. for other tasks: emotional resilience
- one only imagines possibilities they believe to be possible
- one is only motivated to pursue what they think they can achieve
- one who believes they can't handle potential threats experience anxiety arousal
