How children learn to use diverse sources of efficacy information in developing a stable and accurate sense of personal efficacy is a matter of considerable interest.

Students judge how well they might do in a chemistry course from knowing how peers, who performed comparably to them in physics, fared in chemistry.

Regression analyses show that self-efficacy contributes to achievement behavior beyond the effects of cognitive skills.
Albert Bandura -
Because of such conjointedness, behavior that exerts no effect whatsoever on outcomes is developed and consistently performed.

[Children] receive direct instruction from time to time about the appropriateness of various social comparisons.
Albert Bandura -
The effects of outcome expectancies on performance motivation are partly governed by self-beliefs of efficacy
Albert Bandura -
We find that people's beliefs about their efficacy affect the sorts of choices they make in very significant ways. In particular, it affects their levels of motivation and perseverance in the face of obstacles. Most success requires persistent effort, so low self-efficacy becomes a self-limiting process. In order to succeed, people need a sense of self-efficacy, strung together with resilience to meet the inevitable obstacles and inequities of life.

In social cognitive theory, perceived self-efficacy results from diverse sources of information conveyed vicariously and through social evaluation, as well as through direct experience.

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.
Albert Bandura -
Self-percepts foster actions that generate information, as well as serve as a filtering mechanism for self-referent information in the self-maintaining process.
Albert Bandura -
People are much more likely to act on their self-percepts of efficacy inferred from many sources of information rather than rely primarily on visceral cues. This is not surprising because self knowledge based on information about one's coping skills, past accomplishments, and social comparison is considerably more indicative of capability than the indefinite stirrings of the viscera.
Albert Bandura -
What people think, believe, and feel affects how they behave. The natural and extrinsic effects of their actions, in turn, partly determine their thought patterns and affective reactions.
Albert Bandura -
The satisfactions people derive from what they do are determined to a large degree by their self-evaluative standards
Albert Bandura -
Dualistic doctrines that regard mind and body as separate entities do not provide much enlightenment on the nature of the disembodied mental state or on how an immaterial mind and bodily events act on each other.

Success and failure are largely self-defined in terms of personal standards. The higher the self-standards, the more likely will given attainments be viewed as failures, regardless of what others might think.
Albert Bandura -
[Attributional] factors serve as conveyors of efficacy information that influence performance largely through their intervening effects on self-percepts of efficacy.
Albert Bandura -
It is no more informative to speak of self-efficacy in global terms than to speak of nonspecific social behavior.
Albert Bandura -
Perceived self-efficacy influences the types of causal attributions people make for their performances.
Albert Bandura -
Forceful actions arising from erroneous beliefs often create social effects that confirm the misbeliefs.
Albert Bandura -
Misbeliefs in one's inefficacy may retard development of the very subskills upon which more complex performances depend.

Given a sufficient level of perceived self-efficacy to take on threatening tasks, phobics perform them with varying amounts of fear arousal depending on the strength of their perceived self-efficacy.
Albert Bandura -
In order to succeed, people need a sense of self-efficacy, to struggle together with resilience to meet the inevitable obstacles and inequities of life.

A problem of future research is to clarify how young children learn what type of social comparative information is most useful for efficacy evaluation.

Once established, reputations do not easily change.
