Self Efficacy Lesson Summary

Self Confidence is the belief you have in your ability to cope with the demands placed upon you.
Self Efficacy is a situation-specific form of confidence.

Confidence enhances performance as performers will have a positive attitude, increased motivation and Nach, reduced anxiety and reach optimal arousal.

There are 4 sources of self-efficacy which affect self-efficacy positively or negatively.
1. Performance Accomplishments: previous success at a task enhances confidence
2. Vicarious Experience: seeing others succeed enhances confidence
3. Verbal Persuasion: positive statements from self or others enhances confidence
4. Emotional Arousal: positive interpretation of arousal levels enhances confidence

Performance Accomplishments: ensure success / make task easier
Vicarious Experience: show (similar) others succeeding
Verbal Persuasion: persuade them they can do it
Emotional Arousal: encourage them to interpret arousal levels positively
Other methods could be (performance) goal setting, imagery, self talk and attributing success internally
