Self-Efficacy: A Concept Analysis

Abstract

TOPIC. Concept analysis and self-efficacy. PURPOSE. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of the concept self-efficacy through the use of Rodger's model. SOURCES. Published research. CONCLUSION. Self-efficacy beliefs influence how people think, feel, motivate themselves, and act. Self-efficacy is concerned about the perception or judgment of being able to accomplish a specific goal and cannot be sensed globally. In order to gain a sense of self-efficacy, a person can complete a skill successfully, observe someone else doing a task successfully, acquire positive feedback about completing a task, or rely on physiological cues.
