Question

Tammy has a positive view of challenges: She views them as tasks to be mastered. She develops a deep interest in and a strong commitment to becoming a good teacher. When she doesn't pass her first teaching praxis, she quickly recovers and works to overcome the setback. Albert Bandura would say Tammy has...

a) healthy cognitive processes
b) high self-efficacy
c) vicarious learning
d) low self-efficacy

Answer 1

Tammy exhibits high self-efficacy, as she has a strong belief in her ability to master challenges, remains committed to her goals, and is resilient in the face of setbacks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Albert Bandura would say Tammy has high self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is an individual's belief in their personal capability to complete a task or meet challenges. Since Tammy views challenges as tasks to be mastered, develops a deep interest and commitment to her goals, quickly recovers from setbacks like not passing her first teaching praxis, and works to overcome them, she demonstrates characteristics associated with a high sense of self-efficacy, according to Bandura's theory.
