Self Efficacy
Solution
Self efficacy refers to a person's belief in their ability to perform a task or to accomplish a goal. It depends on the person's trust in his/her own competency. There are two factors related to it i.e., outcome expectancies (skills required to complete the goal) and efficacy expectancies (person's analysis about whether the person has those skills). Those with low self efficacy have fear of risks, fear of failure, etc., while those with high self efficacy have an accurate self evaluation and a sense of accomplishment.
Self efficacy can be improved by developing skills, accepting a suitable role model and following him/her regarding that particular activity, asking others to give specific and constructive feedback, reinforcing oneself, using verbal persuasion by a counsellor, learning various techniques to control arousal which lowers performance, for example, meditation, biofeedback, hypnosis, and relaxation.
