BOBO DOLL EXPERIMENT (1950)
oEfficacy expectation - the conviction that one can successfully execute the
behavior required to produce the outcomes.
oOutcome expectancy - the person’s estimate that a given behavior will lead
to certain outcomes.
SUMMARY OF SELF-EFFICACY THEORY
Self-efficacy typically comes into play when there is an actual or
perceived threat to one’s personal safety, or one’s ability to deal with
a potentially aversive events. Increasing a person’s self-efficacy
increases their ability to deal with a potentially averse situation.
Dr. Dweck argues that the growth mindset will allow a person to live
a less stressful and more successful life.
