Abstract
This study investigated the effectiveness of participant, live, and videotape modeling on the learning of a high-avoidance springboard-diving task (back dive). The effectiveness of each form of modeling upon the strength of self-efficacy also was investigated. In accord with Bandura's (1977) self-efficacy theory, it was hypothesized that the participant-modeling group would perform more correct back dives and would show stronger efficacy expectations compared to the live-modeling group which in turn would perform better on these measures than the videotape group. Results indicated that the participant-modeling treatment produced more successful dives and stronger expectations of personal efficacy than either the live-modeling or videotaped-modeling treatments. The hypothesis that students in the live-modeling condition would perform better behaviorally and show stronger efficacy expectations than students in the videotape condition was not supported.

Self-efficacy mechanism in human agency

TL;DR: The centrality of the self-efficacy mechanism in human agency is discussed in this paper, where the influential role of perceived collective effi- cacy in social change is analyzed, as are the social con- ditions conducive to development of collective inefficacy.

Self-Efficacy and Achievement Behaviors

TL;DR: Self-efficacy is an important construct that helps to explain students' learning and performance of achievement-related behaviors as discussed by the authors, and it is associated with educational contexts and that signal to students how well they are achieving or making progress in learning.

The Relation of Self-Efficacy Measures to Sport Performance: A Meta-Analytic Review

TL;DR: Follow-up univariate and multivariate moderator analyses were conducted and indicated that the most important moderator was concordance, thereby highlighting the importance of matching the self-efficacy and performance measures.

Self-Efficacy and Health Behaviors

TL;DR: Self-referent thought has become an issue that pervades psychological research in many domains and has become a key variable in clinical, educational, social, developmental, health, and personality psychology.

Perceived Self-Efficacy in the Exercise of the Personal Agency

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the notion of self-efficacy in the exercise of personal agency and found that selfefficacy is related to the sense of belonging to a team.

Self-efficacy: toward a unifying theory of behavioral change.

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.

Imitation of film-mediated aggressive models

TL;DR: In a test of the hypothesis that exposure of children to film-mediated aggressive models would increase the probability of Ss' aggression to subsequent frustration, 1 group of experimental Ss observed real-life aggressive models, and a 2nd observed these same models potraying aggression on film.

Cognitive processes mediating behavioral change.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors test the theory that psychological procedures achieve changes in behavior by altering the level and strength of self-efficacy, i.e., perceived selfefficacy influences level of performance by enhancing intensity and persistence of effort.
