Self-Efficacy • Perceived self-efficacy entails “judgments of how well one can execute courses of action required to deal with prospective situations”. • Resilience centers on “people’s sense of personal efficacy to produce and to regulate events in their lives”.
Self-Efficacy cont, • Judgments of self-efficacy determine effort people will expend and how long they will persist in the face of obstacles or aversive experiences. • People with a strong sense of efficacy focus their attention on handling the task. • People who doubt their efficacy tend to be consumed by their inadequacies and have little energy to deal with the task at hand.
Resiliency • A person’s resiliency is based on their capacity and skill to overcome stressors. Factors that promote resiliency: • a sense of autonomy or self-reliance; • a sense of basic self-worth; • good physical health; and • good physical appearance.
Resilience cont, • roles and relationships can range from close and intimate relationships to those with the broader societal system. • problem solving ability, the ability to evaluate situations and responses, and the capacity to take action in response to a situation.
