Social Cognitive Theory (SCT)
Social Cognitive Theory (SCT)

Human functioning is explained in terms of a model of triadic


reciprocality in which behavior, cognitive and other personal
factors, and environmental events all operate as interacting
determinants of each other

successful in performing the desired behaviour
given the abilities they possess and the situation
in which they find themselves

 situation-specific form of self-confidence


Rate Your Self-Efficacy

 Can you successfully throw the ball to a given


student sitting in the first row?
 Would your self-efficacy change if the task
was to throw the ball to a student in the fifth
row?
 What about if you had to throw the ball into a
trash can at the very back of the classroom?
Self-Efficacy Theory

Case Study

Pretend for a moment that you are a sport psychologist on


the Track & Field team.
Tara is a first-year student recruited to the Track & Field
varsity team at the University of Toronto. She is extremely
excited to represent the university. However, with the
transition to university and her coursework, she worries
about time management and not being able to attend
practice as often. She has a 100-meter sprint competition
coming up next month and thinks that she will let the team
down.
Using the Self-Efficacy Theory as a guiding framework, how
will you improve Tara’s self-beliefs?
