TL;DR: A substantial body of converging evidence is reviewed, lending validity to the proposition that perceived self-efficacy operates as one common mechanism through which diverse influences affect human action, thought, and affective arousal as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: This commentary addresses misconceptions concerning perceived self-efficacy contained in the article by Eastman and Marzillier. People who regard themselves as highly efficacious act, think, and feel differently from those who perceive themselves as inefficacious. Self-percepts of efficacy thus contribute significantly to performance accomplishments rather than residing in the host organism simply as inert predictors of behaviors to come. A substantial body of converging evidence is reviewed, lending validity to the proposition that perceived self-efficacy operates as one common mechanism through which diverse influences affect human action, thought, and affective arousal.

TL;DR: Level of gender constancy was associated with higher emulation of both male and female models rather than operating as a selective determinant of modeling, corroborates modeling as a basic mechanism in the sex-typing process.
Abstract: Competing predictions derived from cognitive-developmental theory and social learning theory concerning sex-linked modeling were tested. In cognitive-developmental theory, gender constancy is considered a necessary prerequisite for the emulation of same-sex models, whereas according to social learning theory, sex-role development is promoted through a vast system of social influences with modeling serving as a major conveyor of sex role information. In accord with social learning theory, even children at a lower level of gender conception emulated same-sex models in preference to opposite-sex ones. Level of gender constancy was associated with higher emulation of both male and female models rather than operating as a selective determinant of modeling. This finding corroborates modeling as a basic mechanism in the sex-typing process. In a second experiment we explored the limits of same-sex modeling by pitting social power against the force of collective modeling of different patterns of behavior by male and female models. Social power over activities and rewarding resources produced cross-sex modeling in boys, but not in girls. This unexpected pattern of cross-sex modeling is explained by the differential sex-typing pressures that exist for boys and girls and socialization experiences that heighten the attractiveness of social power for boys.
