Taken out of context? Cross-level effects of between-person self-efficacy and difficulty on the within-person relationship of self-efficacy with resource allocation and performance

Challenge and threat states: Cardiovascular, affective, and cognitive responses to a sports-related speech task

“…In addition, future studies could manipulate challenge and threat states to examine changes in the correlates of challenge and threat states. (Hoyt & Blascovich, 2010) and this could influence physiological responses, whereas those who do not have high expectations might withdraw from the situation and consequently they do not demonstrate clear changes in physiological responses (Ennis, Kelly, & Lambert, 2001 Beck & Schmidt, 2012). To explore the possibility of a non-linear relationship we have looked at the scatterplot for the cardiovascular reactivity index for the sport task and self-efficacy, and the cardiovascular reactivity index for the sport task and excitement, as these were the two variables that significantly predicted cardiovascular reactivity.…”

Revisiting the Functional Properties of Self-Efficacy

“…For example, Beck and Schmidt (2012) provided support for their argument that a negative effect exists for people with high average self-efficacy (those whose judgments of self-efficacy fluctuate around the high end of the continuum). The authors argued that these individuals believe that the task can be completed easily, so a momentary increase in self-efficacy for them indicates that resources can be diverted elsewhere.…”

“…however, substantial variability was unaccounted for by available moderators, so they urged researchers to continue searching for moderators to understand when the effect may be positive or negative. Vancouver, Schmidt, and their colleagues (Beck & Schmidt, 2012;Schmidt & DeShon, 2009Vancouver, More, & Yoder, 2008) are leading the field in this regard. To date, the potential moderators assessed in these papers have been treated somewhat independently.…”

Burnout y Desarrollo de Competencias en la Formación Inicial de Maestros

“…La persona que siente que no tiene ninguna posibilidad de alcanzar su meta no invertirá recursos para ello, ni tampoco se invertirán demasiados recursos cuando una meta es fácilmente alcanzable con una mínima inversión (Beck y Schmidt, 2012). Malinen et al (2013) añaden que los individuos que experimentan el éxito fácil solo esperan resultados rápidos y pronto se desanimarán ante cualquier dificultad.…”

“…Malinen et al (2013) añaden que los individuos que experimentan el éxito fácil solo esperan resultados rápidos y pronto se desanimarán ante cualquier dificultad. Por otra parte, las personas con una mayor autoeficacia, suelen invertir más recursos (Beck y Schmidt, 2012), invierten más esfuerzo, tiempo, persistencia, se recuperan rápidamente ante los contratiempos y mantienen el compromiso con sus objetivos (Schwarzer y Hallum, 2008) logrando mayor rendimiento que personas con menor autoeficacia.…”
