In this paper, the effects of performance accomplishments, modeling, locus of control, and their interaction were investigated on 504 children's [Mage = 11 years 7 months] self-efficacy beliefs.Abstract:
Two studies assessed the determinants of children's academic self-efficacy beliefs. First, the effects of performance accomplishments, modeling, locus of control, and their interaction were investigated on 504 children's [Mage = 11 years 7 months)self-efficacy beliefs. Contrary to theoretical predictions, performance accomplishments did not account for any of the variance in self-efficacy beliefs, although modeling was highly significant. The significant modeling ×attributional style interaction showed that externally oriented children were more amenable to modeling effects. The second study assessed whether contextual factors together with performance accomplishments and modeling account for more of the variance in self-efficacy beliefs. Modeling was again the most significant predictor of self-efficacy beliefs. However, when performance accomplishments reflected the self-rating of continuous participation in the classroom, self-efficacy was predicted significantly. In addition, a contextual factor, Rule Specification, also predicted self-efficacy beliefs significantly. In general, theoretical predictions were supported, although the hypothesized order of the importance of performance accomplishments and modeling was reversed, and this was attributed to the age of the present sample.read more

Self-efficacy expectancies, outcome expectancies, and the persistence of pain control in childbirth.
TL;DR: Self-efficacy expectancies predicted persistence in pain control without medication better than outcome expectancies, importance, and seven other alternative predictors, supporting several aspects of construct validation of the self- efficacy expectancy construct.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the wisdom of practice that explains the lessons learned from the study of highly effective tutors and present that in the 21st century, tutoring remains the ideal of education The tutorial is inherently individualized This individualization, in turn, permits the tutor to elicit from each student a much higher level of on-task attention and effort.

TL;DR: An integrative theoretical framework to explain and to predict psychological changes achieved by different modes of treatment is presented and findings are reported from microanalyses of enactive, vicarious, and emotive mode of treatment that support the hypothesized relationship between perceived self-efficacy and behavioral changes.

TL;DR: In psychotherapy, the subject matter is the person's behavior as mentioned in this paper, which is the only class of events that can be altered through psychological procedures, and therefore it is a meaningful subject matter of psychotherapy.
