Self–Efficacy Quiz

Former president of the American Psychological Association, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the world’s leading researcher on positive psychology, who developed this evaluation model, states the following …

“People will be more inclined to take on a task if they believe they can succeed. People generally avoid tasks where their self efficacy is low, but will engage in tasks where their self efficacy is high.

People with a self-efficacy significantly beyond their actual ability often overestimate their ability to complete tasks, which can lead to difficulties.

On the other hand, people with a self-efficacy significantly lower than their ability are unlikely to grow and expand their skills. Research shows that the ‘optimum’ level of self-efficacy is a little above ability, which encourages people to tackle challenging tasks and gain valuable experience.”
