system into fight-or-flight
mode which leads to less
brain activity in the cortical
areas where higher-level

tend to correlate with the
highest performance on
tasks of any type.

Goal Setting Theory

(Edwin Locke and Gary Latham)
Goal setting is essentially linked to task
performance.
Specific and challenging goals along with
appropriate feedback contribute to
higher and better task performance.
Goals indicate and give direction to a
person about what needs to be done and
how much effort is required to be put in.

Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self

M - Measurable
Setting measurable goals is important in order to track
your progress and stay motivated.

When you measure your progress, you stay on track,

reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration
of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort
required to reach your goal.
To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions
such as:
 How much? How many?
 How will I know when it is accomplished?

Understanding the Self UNIT 3: Managing the Self

level needs become activated

Social Cognitive Theory

(Albert Bandura)
Albert Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory
emphasizes how cognitive, behavioral,
personal, and environmental factors
interact to determine motivation and
behavior.
Self-efficacy is the belief we have in our
own abilities, specifically our ability to
meet the challenges ahead of us and
complete a task successfully.

Growth Mindset Theory

(Carol Dweck)
According to Carol Dweck, individuals can be placed on a
continuum according to their implicit views of "where
ability comes from".
Dweck states that there are two categories (growth
mindset versus fixed mindset) that can group individuals
based on their behaviour, specifically their reaction to
failure.
Those with a "fixed mindset" believe that abilities are
mostly innate and interpret failure as the lack of
necessary basic abilities, while those with a "growth
mindset" believe that they can acquire any given ability
provided they invest effort or study.
