	Self-efficacy defined
		People who have a high sense of efficacy are likely to view their state of affective arousal as an energizing facilitator of performance, whereas those who are beset by self- doubts regard their arousal as a debilitator.
		It requires a strong sense of efficacy to remain task oriented in the face of pressing situational demands, failures and setbacks that have significant repercussions.
		Adolescents expand and strengthen their sense of efficacy by learning how to deal successfully with potentially troublesome matters in which they are unpracticed as well as with advantageous life events.

	SIEGEL-Efficacy
		If there are cases where a sense of efficacy attaches to momentary occurrences such as seeming to turn on the lights in the Eiffel tower, one could consider what relation the feeling of efficacy bears to sensory experiences that occur at the same time.
		But if the existence of such beliefs counted as experiential representations of efficacy the Main thesis would hardly be informative, and in any case would not illuminate what is going on in the Eiffel tower case, where the subject does not believe that she turned on the tower’s lights.
		In the Eiffel tower case, you intend to turn on the lights in your apartment; in the case of spoken miscommunication, you intend to tell your addressee that you’re not coming to her party; in the case of the toddler, she intends to move the light switch.

	\| Educational Technology \| Self-Efficacy
		The methods for changing students' percepts of efficacy, according to Bandura (1977, 1986), are categorically subsumed under four sources of efficacy information that interact with human nature: (1) enactive attainment, (2) vicarious experience, (3) persuasory information, and (4) and physiological state.
		Some of his studies that focused on peer modeling as a source of efficacy information (see Schunk, 1987 for a review) are related to the framework of the present study and are therefore detailed in Chapter Two, "Review of Related Research." Other singular studies that employ similar research designs are reviewed as well.
		Participants receiving multiple sources of efficacy information demonstrated greater skill as evidenced by the number of calculations worked and solved correctly, as well as higher judgments of self-efficacy.

		Efficacy beliefs influence the amount of stress and anxiety individual experience as they engage in an activity (Pajare, 1994; Bandura, 1997).
		He reported that teachers with higher levels of efficacy are more likely to learn and use new approaches and strategies for teaching, provide special assistance to low achieving students, and persist in the face of student failure.
		People with a low sense of efficacy on the other hand may have the tendency to look at things as if they are tougher than they really are, a belief that fosters stress, depression and a myopic vision of how best to tackle problems.

	Graduate Research in Nursing, November 2000. Kear, M. Concept Analysis of Self-Efficacy.
		The concept of efficacy is not significantly present again in the literature for almost 20 years, at which time social psychologists began attempting to clarify a definition of self-efficacy (Bandura, 1977; Gecas, 1989; Harter, 1978).
		Efficacy expectation is influenced by learning experiences, either through modeling or vicarious description of a situational behavior, which generate knowledge and an interest in repeating the action.
		Efficacious beliefs evolve from the individual’s perception of competence in performing a behavior; inefficacious beliefs result from failing to meet personal performance expectations.

	Efficacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Efficacy is the ability to produce a desired amount of a desired effect.
		For example, an efficacious vaccine has the ability to prevent or cure a specific illness in an acceptable proportion of exposed individuals.
		In strict epidemiological language, 'efficacy' refers to the impact of an intervention in a clinical trial, differing from 'effectiveness' which refers to the impact in real world situations.

	Efficacy Criteria \| Efficacy Review Overview \| Prevention Research Synthesis \| Research \| Topics \| CDC HIV/AIDS
		The PRS efficacy criteria are used to determine if an HIV behavioral intervention is evidence-based, that is, if there is sufficient evidence that the intervention reduced HIV risk.
		The first PRS efficacy review (CDC, 1999) [1] and the update (Kay, 2003) [13], were based on the original criteria used for the Compendium of HIV Prevention Interventions with Evidence of Effectiveness.
		Promising-evidence interventions are HIV behavioral interventions that have been sufficiently evaluated and have been shown to have significant and positive evidence of efficacy (i.e., eliminate or reduce sex- or drug-risk behaviors, reduce the rate of new HIV/STD infections, or increase HIV-protective behaviors).

	Luminous efficacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is the ratio of emitted luminous flux to radiant flux.
		Luminous efficacy is related to the overall efficiency of a light source for illumination, but the overall lighting efficiency also depends on how much of the input energy is converted into electromagnetic waves (whether visible or not).
		The main difference between the regular and "overall" efficacies, is that the latter account for input energy that is lost as heat, or otherwise exits the source as something other than electromagnetic radiation.

	Self-Efficacy And Psychological Skills During The Amputee Soccer World Cup
		Efficacy expectations are proposed to influence initiating behavior, how much effort will be applied to attain an outcome, and the level of persistence applied to the task in the face of difficulties and setbacks (Bandura, 1997).
		It should be noted that the experience of participating in major games is likely to increase knowledge of how to perform successfully in major competition, and if the individual feels he/she can cope with task demands, it should lead to increased self-efficacy.

	Lipids Online Slides: efficacy, ezetimibe, myocardial infarction, VLDL
		The Coronary Drug Project was a placebo-controlled study designed to assess the long-term efficacy and safety of five lipid-influencing drugs—niacin, clofibrate, dextrothyroxine, and conjugated equine estrogens at two dosage levels—in 8,341 men (aged 30-64 years) with electrocardiogram-documented previous myocardial infarction.
		The efficacy of statins is reduced in these individuals, in whom the LDL receptor is functionally absent.
		It is important to consider that ezetimibe therapy may lead to increased LDL receptor expression in individuals with functional LDL receptors, and that this may comprise a component of the mechanism by which ezetimibe lowers plasma LDL cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations.

	Self-efficacy - WikEd
		Bandura's rationale is like this: If people don't believe they can achieve a desired outcome from their actions, they have little to no incentive to act, or continue action when presented with difficulties.
		Bandura therefore argues, that behavior can be predicted by predicting perceived self efficacy (a person's beliefs about the capabilities) over actual accomplishments, as self-efficacy determines what people will do with their knowledge and skills.
		If we can build up the self efficacy factor in students, we are likely to see higher performances from them in their coursework.

	Manual for the Occupational Self-Efficacy Scale, Betz & Hackett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Bandura (1977) suggested in addition that one of the major roles of a counselor was to assist the client in increasing his/her expectations of selfefficacy with respect to targeted behavioral domain(s), through interventions based on the sources of efficacy information, that is, performance accomplishments, vicarious learning, physiological arousal, and verbal persuasion and encouragement.
		Anxiety is viewed by Bandura as a "coeffect" of self-efficacy expectations in that the level of anxiety is seen to covary inversely with the level and strength of self-efficacy expectations; as self-efficacy expectations are increased, anxiety should decrease and vice versa.
		Thus, instead of indicating perceived efficacy with respect to an occupational title, respondents indicated their perceived efficacy vis a vis 100 tasks.

	Self-efficacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		People generally avoid tasks where their self efficacy is low, but will engage in tasks where their self efficacy is high.
		People with high self efficacy in a task are more likely to expend more effort, and persist longer, than those with low efficacy.
		Low self efficacy can lead people to believe tasks are harder than they actually are.

		Trust in government and a sense of efficacy — that one’s actions can make a difference — are two core beliefs that drive political engagement. Trust in government is at a modern high point among both young and old Americans since September 11
		Efficacy and engagement are mutually reinforcing — young adults who have already been mobilized into politics and community life have higher levels of efficacy, and those with higher levels of efficacy show greater levels of involvement in civic and political life.
		Life experience, educational experience, and a sense of group identification bolster feelings of efficacy. Relative to their peers, older, more educated, more partisan, and more religious young adults feel efficacious, as do young adults whose parents taught them about and demonstrated political engagement.
