- Positive outcomes from observed behaviors reinforce the belief in achieving similar success.
-
Verbal Persuasion:

- Example: A coach's confidence in an athlete can elevate the athlete's performance through enhanced self-assurance.
-
Physiological States:
- Awareness and management of personal emotional and physical states can influence self-efficacy.
- Recognizing feelings like anxiety or excitement aids in coping, making individuals feel more empowered and less stressed.
