ALBERT BANDURA
Sources of Self EfficacyBy: Matt Hull and Courtney Pieper
Introduce Bandura Define Self-Efficacy and
it’s Sources
Present and Interpret Our Data
GOALS:
INTRODUCTION TO BANDURA’S LIFE
Born December 4, 1925 in Alberta, Canada
He received his bachelor’s degree in
psychology at University of British Columbia and his PHD
from University of Iowa in 1952
He is currently president of the American Psychological
Association and Works at Stanford
University
INTRODUCTION TO BANDURA’S
SOCIAL LEARNING THEORYoobservational learning
"Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on
the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do. Fortunately, most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling: from observing others one forms an idea of how new behaviors are performed, and on later occasions
this coded information serves as a guide for action." ~ Bandura
SELF EFFICACY What people believe they are
capable of doing and how well they think
they can do it These ‘judgments’ of oneself are
called self efficacy appraisals
Influences how people think, feel, behave, and motivate themselves
DIFFERENT FROM SELF CONCEPT
OR SELF ESTEEMSelf concept- the idea or mental image one has of
oneself and their strengths, weaknesses, status, etc.; also called self image
Self esteem- a realistic respect for oneself or favorable impression of oneself
Self efficacy refers only to one’s capabilities on a given subject rather than generalities
FOUR SOURCES OF SELF EFFICACY:
1. Actual Performance2. Vicarious experiences
3. Verbal persuasion4. Physiological cues
ACTUAL PERFORMANCE
The most influential source of knowledge and the most effective way of creating a strong sense of efficacy
Repeated success increases our sense of efficacy
Repeated failure decreases our sense of efficacy
VICARIOUS EXPERIENCE
If we observe others, who we believe have roughly the same abilities as we do, succeed at a task, we infer that we can do it too and our sense of self efficacy increases.
In the same way, if we see others fail who we feel are as capable as us, our self efficacy will be lowered
VERBAL PERSUASION
When someone convinces us we can perform a task, we usually do better and exert more effort on it
‘pep talks’ Often easier to lower self efficacy than
raise it with this appraisal
PHYSIOLOGICAL CUES
The interpretation of emotional and physical reactions
Examples: adrenaline running, butterflies in your stomach,
fatigue, your mood or attitude
OUR QUESTIONS: Is self efficacy related to performance
and interest in subject matter?
Which sources of self efficacy have the most influence?
Do the sources of self efficacy differ between age and gender?
OUR HYPOTHESIS:Students will like the class they are
best at and will spend the most time working on classes they like
the mostActual Performance will be the
most influential source of self efficacy
Girls and boys will have different sources of self efficacy but the fifth
and second graders will show similar results
OUR STUDY:Who? Sixteen 5th graders and eighteen 2nd graders
What? A survey with 19 questions concerning the sources of self efficacy
When? During their regular school hours
Where? In their classrooms
How did we interpret the data? Awarded points for answers to questions positively pertaining to self efficacy
OUR FINDINGS
GENDER
AGE
COMPARISONS:Second grade: 11 out of 18 said
that their favorite class was the class they were best out
3 of the 18 spent the most amount of time working on that class
Fifth grade: 11 out of 16 said
that their favorite class was the class they were best out
10 of the 16 spent the most amount of time working on that class
PROBLEMS Overwhelming amount of data that we
had a hard time interpreting Our physiological cue questions are
inconclusive We were unable to compare the
sources of self efficacy Some kids were unable to finish the
survey A survey may not have been the best
means of determining self efficacy
CONCLUSIONS:Vicarious experiences has a greater influence than we realized
Actual performance didn’t play nearly as large of a role as verbal persuasion
