How can you use self-efficacy to build confidence?

Autoeficácia e autoestima são diferentes: autoestima é a avaliação geral do seu valor, enquanto autoeficácia é situacional e específica. Você pode ter alta autoeficácia para cozinhar, mas baixa para falar em público. A autoeficácia é influenciada por experiências passadas, expectativas, feedback e emoções, e afeta como enfrentamos desafios e lidamos com dificuldades.

I think it's important to note that self-efficacy is relating to your belief in your ability to achieve a desired result in a particular area of life. So having low self-efficacy in public speaking would mean you have little belief in your ability to perform as desired. Thank goodness our self-efficacy is constantly fluctuating as well! We can teach ourselves to improve that belief in our abilities through practice & increasing our positive experiences in the area.

Avoir confiance en ses capacités nécessite de bien les identifier en amont. Les dominances naturelles sont parfois si fluides, qu'on a tendance à les sous évaluer. N'hésitez pas à passer un bilan de potentiel ou demander un feedback à votre entourage

Self-efficacy is about how confident you feel in your own capabilities to handle different situations and challenges that come your way.

One way of increasing your self-efficacy in an area is to try and build on an high level of self-efficacy in another and leverage it. For example, you are not confident at speaking up in a meeting but you’re good at writing concise reports which synthesise various perspectives without oversimplifying them. You can follow up a meeting with a message summarising and clarifying a part of the discussion and add your perspective. In this way you leverage your strength at writing a good report in order to make your contribution. This can then serve to help you to contribute to the discussion in a meeting in future.

As with many other areas of development setting small, incremental and consistent goals is the most effective way to build self-efficacy. Reaching them regularly and moving on to the next one creates positive reinforcement and increases motivation. It also improves the individual’s sense of control and agency which is very important in building self-confidence.

Self-efficacy plays a pivotal role in shaping one's performance and learning behaviors. Individuals with high self-efficacy tend to employ effective strategies, seek constructive feedback, and view setbacks as opportunities for growth, thus fostering continuous improvement.

Além disso, alta autoeficácia melhora o desempenho e o aprendizado, promovendo o uso de boas estratégias e a busca de feedback, enquanto a baixa autoeficácia leva à desistência e à evitação de desafios.

"Bite-sized" goal setting is so key to improving self-efficacy. As mentioned, goals which are "too easy" fail to give us the sense of achievement required to build self-efficacy, but setting the bar too high can also lead to diminished sense of self-efficacy. A good way to set beneficial goals is to list out the projects influencing your self-efficacy in an area, list the tasks to achieving the respective projects, then breakdown each step to specific action steps. Then use these action steps to slowly build!

Para medir sua autoeficácia, use uma escala de 1 (nada confiante) a 10 (muito confiante) para avaliar sua confiança em realizar tarefas. Você pode encontrar escalas online ou criar as suas. Por exemplo, avalie sua confiança em preparar discursos e falar em público. Isso ajuda a identificar seus pontos fortes e fracos e monitorar seu progresso.

✓ Regularly practicing self-efficacy measurement helps identify areas for improvement. ✓ For boosting confidence, set small, achievable goals and celebrate progress. ✓ Did you know that 70% of individuals who set specific, incremental goals report increased self-confidence? ✓ Use this approach to steadily build your public speaking skills.

O psicólogo Albert Bandura identificou quatro fontes de autoeficácia: experiências de domínio, experiências vicárias, persuasão verbal e estados emocionais. Experiências de domínio envolvem concluir tarefas com sucesso; maximize seu impacto definindo metas SMART e celebrando conquistas. Experiências vicárias consistem em observar outros atingirem objetivos; beneficie-se buscando modelos ou mentores inspiradores.

Self-efficacy can help you determine if you can tackle a situation or overcome a problem. Generally, it's easier to overestimate or underestimate our capability. Getting an accurate view of what is possible for one to accomplish is a harder process. Building self-efficacy involves taking risk and going out of your comfort zone. In a lot of situations the risk is more within than in the situation. Being able to regulate our emotions in situations when one feels out of comfort zone can help tackle the situation and thus help is increasing self-efficacy.

✓ Verbal persuasion involves receiving positive encouragement from others. ✓ Surround yourself with supportive people who believe in your abilities. ✓ Emotional states impact self-efficacy; practice stress management techniques like mindfulness or exercise. ✓ Studies show that regular exercise can boost self-efficacy by 20% .

Bandura's sources of self-efficacy: mastery (set SMART goals, celebrate achievements), vicarious (find role models, learn from others), verbal persuasion (seek feedback, accept compliments), emotional states (manage emotions with techniques like relaxation, affirmations).

To increase your self-efficacy, you need to shift your beliefs. You can do this by... - reflecting back on specific situations where you accomplished a similar goal in the past -mentally rehearse and visualize yourself effectively preparing for the task at hand - check your body language... how are you sitting and moving through your space? are your shoulders up and back and chest up proud, or are you sitting down slumped over?

Para aumentar sua autoeficácia, identifique seus objetivos e as tarefas necessárias para alcançá-los. Avalie sua confiança em cada tarefa usando uma escala de autoeficácia ou seu próprio julgamento. Escolha uma ou duas tarefas para melhorar e use as quatro fontes de autoeficácia de Bandura: experiências de domínio, experiências vicárias, persuasão verbal e estados emocionais. Planeje e implemente ações que ajudem a praticar e melhorar suas habilidades.

People with a high self-efficacy are known to set higher goals, are more resilient, and put more effort into achieving their goals. This is essential while building confidence, since we build confidence by taking action to build our competence in specific areas.

Understanding and leveraging self-efficacy is really helpful for building confidence in any areas of your life. Focus on your strengths first, as it's easier to build higher self-efficacy there. Identify areas where you are already very good at and where you would like increase your self-efficacy. Celebrate your successes thus far in that area and determine what the next level might require. Then, identify areas where you want to grow and define the goals you want to achieve and actionable next steps. Each time you reach the next level in a certain area your confidence will grow. This will not only enhance your skills but also boosts motivation and performance enabling you to tackle new challenges with greater confidence & resilience.

To build confidence through self-efficacy, start by setting and achieving small, manageable goals. Each success reinforces your belief in your abilities, creating a positive cycle. Additionally, find mentors or role models to learn from and emulate their successful strategies. Visualizing successful outcomes in challenging situations.

An interesting influence could be the brain's tendency to latch onto negatives. For example, instead of hearing "don't fail" it hears "fail." And influences your thought processes, emotions, and energy for the negative. In working to improve our self-efficacy (& self confidence) it's so helpful to watch our wording in that way!

✓ Building confidence starts with small, consistent actions. ✓ For instance, public speaking can boost self-assurance; 75% of people report increased confidence after joining a group like Toastmasters. ✓ Get on challenges and celebrate progress, no matter how minor.
