Lesson 4: SELF-DEVELOPMENT

Lesson 4: SELF-DEVELOPMENT

Emotional aspects of people are based on how we view ourselves, our ‘self-concept’. Historically, the term self-concept was defined by researchers as a global perception of oneself and one’s self-esteem reactions to that self-perception. The research of Zimmerman (2000) introduced self-efficacy as a key component in social cognitive theory, he discussed human motivation primarily in terms of outcome expectations. Self-efficacy is also thought of as a person’s can do attitude. Although self-efficacy and outcome expectations were both hypothesized to affect motivation, it seems that self-efficacy can play a larger role because the types of outcomes people anticipate depend largely on their judgments of how well they will be able to perform in given situations.
