“…According to Self-Efficacy Theory (Bandura, 1982), people must believe that they are able to perform a task well, even in potentially threatening situations, to perform well. As reviewed by Samson and Solomon (2011), the appraisal and integration of past accomplishments, social and verbal persuasion, vicarious experiences, and physical and emotional states combine to form an individual’s self-efficacy level that is relatively stable over time (Chen et al, 2001; Strecher et al, 1986). Maintaining high self-efficacy beliefs requires managing stressors by re-evaluating task demands and available resources (Chemers et al, 2001; Feltz et al, 2008).…”

Although exercise is recommended by healthcare professionals for nearly everyone, adverse reactions can occur following exercising for some overweight individuals. The reported study investigated the cardiovascular consequences of exercise in a stressful environment. In all, 60 females completed two baseline and one biking (i.e. ergometer) periods while cardiovascular and self-report measures were recorded. Findings indicated that those who are more self-aware showed cardiovascular response patterns indicative of threat. Additionally, post-task exercise self-efficacy levels predicted intentions to exercise at a demanding level in the coming week. These findings suggest exercise may exacerbate health issues for some individuals for whom it is recommended.

“…Researchers (Samson & Solmon, 2011) have suggested that studies of a qualitative nature are needed in the self-efficacy literature, thus this investigation helps to fill a void. In addition, the longitudinal nature of the study allowed researchers to explore changes over time for sources of information used to develop efficacy beliefs, which is a unique contribution to the current literature.…”

“…Based on the literature reviewed, there are several directions or lines of inquiry that researchers can pursue that would extend the knowledge-base relevant to self-efficacy in sport and exercise settings. A focus for research suggested by Samson and Solmon (2011) involves investigating the relationships from a qualitative perspective to provide a more in-depth picture of how and why particular sources of information are selected.…”

There is evidence that an individual with a higher level of self-efficacy will persist longer and be more robust in their efforts than an individual with a lower level of self-efficacy (Feltz et al., 2008). As such, it follows that a high level of self-efficacy would be essential in a strenuous activity such as distance running. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the evolution of efficacy beliefs over the course of a training program by following 26 participants training for a marathon. Participants completed individual interviews at three different time points throughout the training and that were analyzed for content relevant to the formation of efficacy beliefs for the marathon. Overall, the findings indicated that physiological/emotional states were the most frequently mentioned source of information throughout the duration of the experience. Further, the influence of past performance experiences gradually increased throughout the duration of the program.

“…Bandura's (1997) social cognitive model proposes that self-efficacy is developed via four major determinants: mastery experiences, social persuasion, vicarious experiences, and physiological/ emotional states. A considerable body of correlational and experimental evidence supports the influential role of these determinants on self-efficacy in a variety of physical activity domains (recreational sport, elite performance, exercise adoption) with mastery experiences showing the strongest associations with self-efficacy (Bandura, 1997;Beauchamp, Jackson, & Morton, 2012;Samson & Solmon, 2011).…”

Interpersonal feedback from coaches may be instrumental in the formation of children's self-efficacy to learn or perform sport skills. We report on two studies that explored perceived sources of self-efficacy and relation-inferred self-efficacy (RISE) in one-on-one interviews with sport camp participants (N = 61; ages 7-12) and focus groups with recreational league participants (N = 28; ages 8-12). Participants' responses indicated that prior experiences and socially constructed interactions contributed to the development of self-efficacy and RISE beliefs. Results support Bandura's (1997) theorizing that self-efficacy is developed through processing of experiential feedback as well as Lent and Lopez's (2002) tripartite theory proposing interpersonal feedback from influential others contributes to children's RISE and self-efficacy.
