Albert Bandura Outcomes Quotations

Perceived self-efficacy and beliefs about the locus of outcome causality must be distinguished

It is widely assumed that beliefs in personal determination of outcomes create a sense of efficacy and power, whereas beliefs that outcomes occur regardless of what one does result in apathy

Because of such conjointedness, behavior that exerts no effect whatsoever on outcomes is developed and consistently performed

The presence of many interacting influences, including the attainments of others, create further leeway in how one's performances and outcomes are cognitively appraised

Self-efficacy beliefs differ from outcome expectations, judgments of the likely consequence [that] behavior will produce.

The effects of outcome expectancies on performance motivation are partly governed by self-beliefs of efficacy
