Research in self-efficacy examines…
- intention to become active
- the intention of a physically active lifestyle
- maintenance of physical activity
- effort expended on physical activity

If it has been done before you can do it again
First up failure will erode self efficacy
2nd source of self-efficacy
Vicarious experience (observational learning)
- If you see someone doing it you’ll believe you can do it (increase SE)
- If you see people fail you wont believe you can do it (lower SE)
3rd source of self-efficacy
Verbal persuasion
- Someone tells you it can be done
- Generally a weak influence but more important in elite sports coming from a coach
4th source of self-efficacy
Individuals psychological state
- Some days you feel good and some days you feel bad
5th source of self-efficacy
Mood states can influence SE through affective priming
- Success or failure is stored in memory and recalled with associated mood states
