The renowned psychologist Albert Bandura's theory is that those
with high self-efficacy expectancies (the belief that one can
achieve what one sets out to do) are healthier, more effective and
generally more successful than those with low self-efficacy
expectancies. The author begins with a discussion of theory and
method and then examines how belief in one's abilities affects
development, mental functioning and health, with examples from the
areas of psychopathology, athletics, business and international
issues. The book is ideal for upper-level courses in social,
developmental, clinical or organizational psychology as well as
business, education, counselling and political science.
This insightful textbook asks the question: How do otherwise
considerate human beings do cruel things and still live in peace
with themselves? Dr. Bandura provides a definitive exposition of
the psychosocial mechanism by which people selectively disengage
their moral self-sanctions from their harmful conduct. They do so
by sanctifying their harmful behaviour as serving worthy causes;
absolving themselves of blame; minimizing the harmful effects of
their actions; dehumanizing those they maltreat, and blaming them
for bringing the suffering on themselves. Dr. Bandura's theory of
moral disengagement is uniquely broad in scope. Theories of
morality focus almost exclusively at the individual level. He
insightfully extends the disengagement of morality to the
social-system level through which wide-spread inhumanities are
perpetrated. This masterwork by one of the most influential
psychologists and thinkers of our time is important reading for all
Psychology students and is particularly relevant for Social
Psychology courses.
An exploration of contemporary advances in social learning theory
with special emphasis on the important roles played by cognitive,
vicarious, and self-regulatory processes.
Presents a comprehensive theory of human motivation and action from
a social-cognitive perspective. This insightful text addresses the
prominent roles played by cognitive, vicarious, self-regulatory,
and self-reflective processes in psychosocial functioning;
emphasizes reciprocal causation through the interplay of cognitive,
behavioral, and environmental factors; and systematically applies
the basic principles of this theory to personal and social change.
Adolescents' beliefs in their personal control affect their
psychological well-being and the direction of their lives.
Self-efficacy in Changing Societies analyzes the diverse ways in
which beliefs of personal efficacy operate within a network of
socio-cultural influences to shape life paths. The chapters, by
internationally known experts, cover such matters as development of
personal agency in infancy, competency through the life span, and
the role of familial, educational, and cross-cultural factors in
the social construction of personal and collective efficacy. The
volume addresses important issues of human adaptation and change
that will be of considerable interest to people in the fields of
developmental psychology, education, health, and sociology.
