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.

(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.
