Self-Efficacy Theory

Assessing SE requires behavior to be associated w/effort potential barriers

it may not capture dimensions of habitual activity very well

Self-Efficacy

people's judgements of their capabilities to organize and execute course of action required to attain designated types of performances. It is concerned not w/ the skills one has but w/ judgements of what one can do with whatever skills one possesses.

Small to moderate 0.29

(Important considerations)The relationship between yesterday's PA and today's PA was ___0.29

Emotional States

(a source of self-efficacy) Feelings of excitement, relaxation, worry, fear, etc

Performance Accomplisments

(a source of self-efficacy) The experience of carrying out a task successfully, particularly after adversity - have pos/neg effects

Vicarious Experiences

(a source of self-efficacy)Behavior of others that serves as a reference for our own capabilities

Physiological States

(a source of self-efficacy)Heart & respiration rate, muscle soreness, etc

Verbal Persuasion

(a source of self-efficacy)Providing a person information and encouragement for the behavior

Small to moderate 0.30

(important considerations) The relationship between today's SE and today's PA was ______ 0.3

Moderate to Large

(important considerations) The relationship between yesterday's SE and today's SE was 0.54 ______

Barriers Efficacy

An individual's belief about possessing the capability to overcome obstacles to PA/exercise

Scheduling Efficacy

An individual's belief about possessing the capability to schedule PA/exercise into a daily routine; Lack of time barrier, do they have the confidence and capability to add EX/PA into their schedule successfully.

Exercise Efficacy

An individual's belief regarding their capacity to successfully engage in incremental bouts of PA/exercise

Cognitive Evaluation Theory

Circumstances that promote or undermine our motivation; rewards and feedback

Components of the Self-Efficacy

Dimensions, types, and sources of self-efficacy

Autonomy

The desire to be self-initiating in the regulation of behavior E.g., "I have free choice in how and when I exercise!"

Relatedness

The desire to feel connected to other people E.g., "There are important others around me that support my running!"

Competence

The desire to interact effectively with the environment E.g., "I can perform this Zumba dance well!"

Basic Psychological Needs Theory

The fundamental nutriments of our psychological life; autonomy, competence, and relatedness

Organismic Integration Theory

Understanding different types of motivation

Competence, autonomy, and relatedness

What are the 3 basic psychological needs?

exercise efficacy, barriers efficacy, and scheduling efficacy

What are the 3 categories of self-efficacy?

magnitude, strength, and generality

What are the 3 dimensions of Self-efficacy?

Assessment of SE must be behavior specific

a critique that explains that Many self-efficacy scales have actually measured general perceptions of competence; Only weak-to-moderate evidence for generalizability of self-efficacy

Strength

the degree of conviction that a particular task can be carried out successfully (usually x% out of 100%...i am 33.4% confident I can attend my sessions 3 days a week)

Generality

the degree of which self efficacy beliefs transfer to other related tasks (attending my PT sessions will help me start a regular walking program)

Magnitude

the ordering of tasks by their perceived degree of difficulty (better with someone else motivating you or telling you to do something, more intention)

Social-Cognitive Theory

the theory based on expectancy-value models suggest that peoples behavior is guided primarily by outcomes of a behavior and whether a person values those consequences.

Generality of Self-Efficacy

this increase the SE in post-MI men after treadmill running && Demonstrates that some generalization ability of SE occurs.
