Product Description

Review

"This volume...captures the spirit of the changing 1990s and comes at just the right time...offers many riches that cannot be found together in any other source. It should be of great interest not only to those concerned with self-efficacy theory and related models but to anyone concerned with how we adapt to social change." Contemporary Psychology

"Albert Bandura is justifiably viewed as the originator of self-efficacy--a construct that now rightfully involves numerous investigators who operate in different areas...Self-Efficacy in Changing Societies is a winner." Norman Garmezy, Professor of Psychology Emeritus, University of Minnesota

"...a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners alike....stands out as a remarkably successful effort at bridging the worlds of theory, research, and applied concerns, and forecasting important directions for future investigations and practice." David L. DuBois, Journal of Adolescence

"...anyone intersted in contemporary applications of self-efficacy theory will find this to be an enormously useful resource." Richard E. Watts, Journal of Cognitive Psycho-theory

Book Description

Adolescents' beliefs in their personal control affects 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 sociocultural influences to shape life paths. The chapters, written by internationally known experts, cover such concepts as infancy and personal agency, competency through the life span, the role of family, and cross-cultural factors.

By A Customer
This review is from: Self-Efficacy in Changing Societies (Paperback)
Efficacy issues infiltrate every domain in every persons life. This book is Banduras greatest work in his quest to pioneer the concept he originated. Whether for personal interest or academic research all individuals in the domain of efficacy must become familiar with Banduras work--especially that contained within this work.

5.0 out of 5 stars great overview, Oct 28 2006
By Lisa Wiese - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Self-Efficacy in Changing Societies (Paperback)
This book is very clearly written. Bandura does a great job of addressing self-efficacy theory in different societal contexts (education, family, health). I highly recommend it both as an academic resource and as a personal read for anyone is interested in thinking about their perceived level of control shapes their life outcomes.
