What 3 things are based more on what people believe than on what is actually the case?
Their levels of motivation, affective states, and actions
Agentic Theory
You are the agent/ in control of your own behaviour
-you are the one who’s going to do this or not
-if you’re motivated that’s because of you
Self Reflection
How am I doing?
-Look at what your doing
Self Regulation
After you reflect and you think your not going far enough, you must self regulate and change
-regulate your activity and be consistent
Reciprocal Determination
Agentic theory, self reflection, and self regulation interacting
-determines what you think, how you feel, and what you do
Example of Reciprocal Determination
Whether a child plays soccer:
Behaviour: good at soccer? Good= play
Personal: if good, might not enjoy
Environment: Friends are playing with you?
How to assess self efficacy
In relation to what they are going to do next
-belief in ones capabilities to organize and execute the courses of action required to manage prospective situations
What 4 Things make us more confident?
Past Experiences, Vicarious experiences, Social Persuasion, and Physiological and Affective States
What are “Past Experiences” with confidence?
-the most reliable source of confidence
-not so much what you have done, but instead how you have explained it (attribution)
What are “Vicarious Experiences” with confidence?
-seeing others do it
-if someone you like fails it, your confidence will drop
-if someone you like does well, your confidence will go up
What is “Social Persuasion” with confidence?
-encouragement/ self talks
What is “Physiological and Affective States” with confidence?
-physical/ emotional cues
-if your feeling good, you will be more confident
Self Efficacy with sport performance
more efficacious (confident), then you will perform better
Self Efficacy with Physical Activity Adherence
people that are confident that they will be more active, they will most likely be more active
Self Efficacy with Energy Expenditure
those who are confident will work harder
Achievement Goal Theory
defined ability= success
-if you see yourself as able and confident, you will be successful
Task Goal Orientation
Internal
-successful (improve or learn)
-if you see that you are better than you were when you started= success
-comparing yourself to yourself
Ego Goal Oriented
External
-others
-successful -outperform others
-they have to beat somebody else to prove they are successful
Developmental considerations
people are usually task oriented until they are 12-13 years old, meaning they just want to win for their own success
-then ego orientation starts to develop
Winning/ competition causes what orientation to come out
Ego orientation
-the need to beat others to prove success
Mastery/ effort causes what orientation to come out
Task orientation -meaning they want to improve, learn, and compare to when they started
