Bandura's Self
Efficacy
Albert Bandura (born December 4,
1925, Mundare, Alberta, Canada—died
July 26, 2021, Stanford, California,
U.S.) was a Canadian-born American
psychologist and originator of social
cognitive theory who is probably best
known for his modeling study on
aggression, referred to as the “Bobo
doll” experiment, which
demonstrated that children can learn
Who is behaviours through the observation
of adults.

Self Efficacy Theory
Albert Bandura defined self-efficacy as "the belief
in one’s capabilities to organize and execute the
courses of action required to manage prospective
situations.It is a person’s belief in their ability to
succeed in a particular situation. Such beliefs play a
role in determining how people think, behave, and
feel.
Self Efficacy Theory
According to Bandura, self-efficacy is part
of the self-system comprised of a person’s
attitudes, abilities, and cognitive skills. This
system plays a major role in how we
perceive and respond to different
situations. Self-efficacy is an essential part
of this self-system.
The four ways that self-
efficacy is achieved
•Mastery experiences

•Social modeling

•Social persuasion

•Psychological responses
Mastery Experiences

"The most effective way of developing a


strong sense of efficacy is through mastery
experiences," Bandura explained. Performing
a task successfully strengthens our sense of
self-efficacy. However, failing to adequately
deal with a task or challenge can undermine
and weaken self-efficacy.
Social Modeling
Witnessing other people successfully complete a
task is another important source of self-efficacy.
According to Bandura, "Seeing people similar to
oneself succeed by sustained effort raises
observers' beliefs that they too possess the
capabilities to master comparable activities to
succeed."
Social Persuasion
Social Persuasion
Bandura also asserted that people could be
persuaded to believe they have the skills and
capabilities to succeed. Getting verbal
encouragement from others helps people
overcome self-doubt and instead focus on giving
their best effort to the task at hand.
Psychological Responses
Our responses and emotional reactions to
situations also play an important role in self-
efficacy. Moods, emotional states, physical
reactions, and stress levels can all impact how a
person feels about their personal abilities in a
particular situation.
The Impacts of Self-efficacy

The impact that self-efficacy has on


your life varies depending on
whether your level of self-efficacy is
"HIGH or if it is LOW".
High Self-efficacy
Self-efficacy can play an important role in health
psychology and how people manage their health,
nutrition, and illness.

Example:

A person struggling to manage a chronic illness feels


confident that they can get back on track and
improve their health by working hard and following
their doctor's recommendations.
Low Self-Efficacy
People who are low in self-efficacy
tend to see difficult tasks as threats
they should avoid. Because of this,
they also often avoid setting goals
and have low levels of commitment
to the ones they do make.
