enesetõhususega

Enesetõhusus refers to an individual's belief in their capacity to organize and execute the courses of action required to manage prospective situations. It is a concept central to the work of psychologist Albert Bandura, who defined it as a person's confidence in their ability to succeed in specific situations or accomplish a task. This belief system influences an individual's choices, effort, persistence, and emotional reactions.

High enesetõhusus is associated with greater motivation, better performance, and increased resilience in the face of challenges. Individuals with strong self-efficacy are more likely to set challenging goals, persist in their efforts when confronted with obstacles, and recover quickly from setbacks. Conversely, low enesetõhusus can lead to avoidance of difficult tasks, reduced effort, and a tendency to attribute failure to personal inadequacy.

Enesetõhusus is developed and strengthened through several sources, including mastery experiences (successful completion of tasks), vicarious experiences (observing others succeed), social persuasion (encouragement from others), and physiological and emotional states (interpreting one's physical and emotional reactions). It is not a fixed trait but can be modified over time and across different domains of activity. Understanding and fostering enesetõhusus is important for personal growth, learning, and achieving desired outcomes in various aspects of life.
