TL;DR: In this article, models of Human Nature and Casualty are used to model human nature and human health, and a set of self-regulatory mechanisms are proposed. But they do not consider the role of cognitive regulators.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a comprehensive theory of human motivation and action from a social cognitive perspective, and address the prominent roles played by cognitive vicarious self regulatory and self reflective processes in psychosocial functioning emphasizing reciprocal causation through the interplay of cognitive behavioral and environmental factors.

TL;DR: In this article, a special issue of this journal attests to the explanatory and predictive generality of self-efficacy theory, and addresses itself to conceptual and empirical issues concerning the nature and function of selfpercepts of efficacy.
Abstract: Convergent evidence from the diverse lines of research reported in the present special issue of this journal attests to the explanatory and predictive generality of self-efficacy theory. This commentary addresses itself to conceptual and empirical issues concerning the nature and function of self-percepts of efficacy.

TL;DR: This article found that self-reactive influences exert differential impact on motivation as a function of the level and direction of discrepancy between a comparative standard and attainments, and that perceived selfefficacy contributes to motivation across a wide range of discrepancy conditions.

TL;DR: In the absence of validating empirical evidence, subjective expectancies remain interesting epiphe-nomena, rather than valid, causal mechanisms of placebo responses and fear reduction.
Abstract: are caused by signs of progress early in a course of therapy. In the history of psychotherapy research , the expectancy construct emerged prematurely and without the empirical support necessary to establish its validity (Wilkins, 1973). In the absence of validating empirical evidence, subjective ex-pectancies remain interesting epiphe-nomena, rather than valid, causal mechanisms of placebo responses and fear reduction. (1975).

Placebo versus social earning effects in parent training procedures designed to alter the behavior of aggressive boys. Effects of false feedback on avoidance behavior: \"Cognitive\" desen-sitization revisited. The belief that fear controls avoidance behavior dies hard, despite growing evidence to the contrary. In a recent article, Kirsch (November, 1985) argued in favor of this view in his comments regarding the role of perceived self-efficacy in phobic dys-functions. According to Kitsch, people take avoidant action because of expected fear. A large body of evidence disputes the notion that anticipatory fear regulates Such behavior is often performed without anticipatory fear arousal, and avoidance can persist long after fear of threats has been eliminated (Black, 1965; Reseorla & Solomon, 1967). No consistent relations have been found between changes in fear arousal and phobic behavior during the …
