Self
Efficacy

The Theory of Self-efficacy states that
self-efficacy expectations and outcome expectations
are not only influenced by behavior, but
also by verbal encouragement, physiological
sensations and exposure to role models or
self-modeling.
The theory of
self-efficacy is that the more one believes in the
efficacy of a specific activity, the more likely
(motivated) one is to perform that activity. Most of
the research into self-efficacy beliefs among older
adults has been quantitative and has consistently
supported the influence of those beliefs on behavior.
However, it has not been established how efficacy
beliefs actually influence motivation in older adults,
or what sources of efficacy-enhancing information help
strengthen those beliefs.
