Study Notes
Development of Self-Efficacy
- Peer models play a primary role in the development of self-efficacy beliefs, according to Bandura (1997a)
- Observing peers perform tasks can influence an individual's self-efficacy, e.g., a novice bike rider observing friends ride up a dirt hill may conclude they can do the same
- Social comparison is essential for developing self-efficacy, as it allows individuals to draw conclusions about themselves based on comparisons to others (Thompson, Winer, & Goodvin, 2011)
- Perceiving similarity to peers or models is necessary for an individual to be influenced by their examples and develop self-efficacy
- Mere observation of peers' success is insufficient for developing self-efficacy; the individual must perceive themselves as similar to the models
