Abstract
WHAT IS SELF-EFFICACY? T he construct of self-efficacy was introduced in 1977 by Albert Bandura, Ph.D., a psychologist at Stanford University. Self-efficacy refers to confidence in one’s abilities to successfully perform a particular behavior. For example, if you are sure that you can walk 1 mile without any difficulty, then your self-efficacy for that particular behavior is high. On the other hand, if you are quite certain that you would become exhausted and need to stop after only a few feet, then your selfefficacy for walking the mile is low (Table 1). Thus, your level of self-efficacy can have a substantial impact on your behavior.
