Student Success TipsTip #8 Support Your Self-Efficacy
Have you taken the “Intro to Psychology” course yet?
Most of the students I speak with in my college programs across
the
I highly recommend that you take the class as an elective, if
it’s not required. You’ll
learn so much about yourself and others!
It’s true that self-image is important.
After all, if you don’t see yourself as worthy of going for
more, you’ll never leave the block, much less win the race.
So, while self-image is importance, it’s not the most important
factor in determining your level of success.
According to research by the American Psychological Association
and reported in Marcus Buckingham’s book, “The One Thing You Need to
Know” self-image determines whether you’ll go for more, but
self-efficacy will determine whether you will actually be successful.
Self-efficacy is seeing yourself as able to act in ways that will
bring about the desired results.
Think of self-efficacy as picking up where self-image leaves off.
Self-image sees that you’re worthy, and pretty much stays in
thought.
Self-efficacy is your sense that you are capable of what it takes
to bring about success. This
will allow you to focus on actions leading to high-quality results. ***************************************** For all 101 Tips on Student Success as a download you can get right now, go to Success Store While you're there, check out my other downloadable
