Answer:
Ans. Self-efficacy is cognitive component of self. Self-efficacy refers to ones own effectiveness in achieving ones life outcomes. It is an individual's belief about his/her own capabilities to get success in specific situation. The notion of self-efficacy is based on Bandura's social learning theory. His initial studies showed that children and adults learn behaviour by observing and imitating others. People's expectations of mastery or achievement and their convictions about their own effectiveness determine the type of behaviour they would engage in. The amount of risk they would undertake also determines this. A strong sense of self-efficacy allows us to select, influence, and construct the circumstances of our life.
