Self-efficacy is an individual’s perceptions about their capabilities to perform at an expected level, achieve goals, and complete moderately challenging tasks.

1. Focus on your effort, progress, and learning: Do you understand the connection between effort and progress? Do you try to have a growth mindset? Strategies include focus on my effort; try again; calm myself; say, “I haven’t learned _____ yet”; and exercise my brain.

2. Take steps to increase confidence in your abilities: Do you accept feedback from others? Do you ask for help when you need it? Strategies include learn from my mistakes, remember hard things I’ve done, give and accept praise, accept feedback, and watch and learn from others.

In the first section, you reflected on your self-efficacious behaviors. The graph shows your average ratings.
The table shows your response to each item. In the table, some items, such as “I think people should realize when they aren’t good at something and quit,” are reverse scored. This means that a rating of “1—Not Very Like Me” means that you are demonstrating strong self-efficacy, whereas selecting a rating of “5—Very Like Me” means that you rated yourself as weak in that area. The color coding for each item shows where your self-ratings fall within the scale of low to high self-efficacy.

The quiz section shows your current knowledge of self-efficacy concepts.
