Module
I. OVERVIEW
Jack Canfield is an epitome of success. He has authored seven books listed in the
Guinness Book of World Records. These are the Chicken Soup for the Soul and other.
One of his featured quotes about success is: “By taking the time to stop and appreciate
who you are and what you have achieved- and perhaps learned through a few mistakes,
stumbles and losses- you actually can enhance everything about you. Self –
acknowledgement and appreciation are what give you the insights and awareness to
move forward toward higher goals and accomplishments.”
We will learn more about his quotes through Albert Bandura’s self-efficacy theory,
Dweck’s mindsets theory and Locke’s goal setting theory.

theory states that people are active participants in their environment and are not simply
shaped by the environment.
Self-efficacy theory is based on the assumption that psychological procedures serve as a
means of creating and strengthening expectations of personal efficacy. It distinguishes
between expectations of efficacy and response-outcome expectancies.
Outcome expectancy – is a person’s estimate that a given behavior will lead to certain
outcomes. An efficacy expectation is the conviction that one can successfully execute the
behavior required to produce the outcomes.
Self – efficacy typically comes into play when there is an actual or perceived threat to one’s
personal safety, or one’s ability to deal with potentially aversive events. For example,
experimental studies on the treatment of adults with ophidiophobia (fear of snakes) have
demonstrated that raising levels of self-efficacy is an effective technique to help them cope
with threatening situations. Perceived self-efficacy mediates anxiety arousal.
Weibell stated that Bandura defined self-efficacy as “people’s belief about their capabilities
to produce designated levels of performance that exercise influence over events that affect
their lives. He identified acts of people with “high assurance in their capabilities” such as:
1. Approach difficult tasks as challenges to be mastered
2. Set challenging goals and maintain strong commitment to them
3. Heighten or sustain efforts in the face of failures or setbacks;
4. Attribute failure to insufficient effort or deficient knowledge and skills which acquirable
and
5. Approach threatening situations with assurance that they can exercise control over
them.
In contrast, people “who doubt their capabilities”
1. Shy away from tasks they view as personal threats;
2. Have a low aspirations and weak commitment to goals they choose to pursue;
3. Dwell on personal deficiencies, obstacles they will encounter, and all kinds of adverse
outcomes , rather than concentrating on how to perform successfully
4. Slacken their efforts and give up quickly in the face of difficulties
5. Are slow to recover their sense of efficacy following failure or setbacks and
6. Fall easy victim to stress and depression
4 main sources of influence by which a person’s self -efficacy is developed and maintained
1. Performance accomplishments or mastery experiences
2. Vicarious experiences
3. Verbal or social persuasion
4. Physiological (somatic and emotional) states.
Mastery experiences or personal performance accomplishments are the most effective ways to
create a strong sense of efficacy. “Successes build a robust belief in one’s personal efficacy.
Failures undermined it, especially if failures occur before a sense of efficacy is firmly
established.”
Vicarious experience through observance of social models also influence one’s perception of
self-efficacy. The most important factor that determines the strength of influence of an observed
success or failure on one’s own self-efficacy is the degree of similarity between the observer
and the model.
Verbal or social persuasion also affect’s one’s perception of self-efficacy. It is a “way of
strengthening people’s beliefs that they have what it take to succeed.” It can provide a
temporary boost in perceived ability.
Expectation alone will not produce desired performance if the component capabilities are
lacking.

Her contribution to social psychology relates to implicit theories of intelligence with her book,
Mindset: The New Psychology of Success published. She described people with two types of
mindset. People who believe that success is based on hard work, learning, training, and
perseverance have growth theory of intelligence, which goes under growth mindset. Individuals
may not necessarily be aware of their own mindset., but their mindset can still be discerned
based on their behavior. It is especially evident in their reaction to failure. Fixed mindset
individuals dread failure because it is negative statement on their basic abilities, while growth
mindset individuals do not mind or fear their failure as much because they realize their
performance can improved and learning comes from failure. These two mindsets play an
important tole in all aspects of person’s life.
In a fixed mindset, students believe their basic abilities, their intelligence, their talents are just
fixed traits.
Individuals with growth mindset are more likely to continue working hard despite setbacks while
individuals with fixed mindset can be affected by subtle environmental cues.
In the 1960s, Edwin Locke proposed that intentions to work toward a goal are a major source of
work motivation. This theory has been supported in more than one thousand studies with all
types and levels of employees. To motivate, goals must have specificity, commitment,
challenge, and feedback.
Goals need to be specific enough to answer the who, what, when, where, why, and how of any
expectations of the goal. Employees perform better when given specific goals than they do
when given vague or abstract goals. For instance, a manager tells a stockroom worker to aim to
unpack ten boxes by lunchtime rather than telling the worker to do as much as he can. The
specificity of the goal now acts as an internal stimulus, and the stockroom worker has a specific
objective to attain. One common approach is SMART goals. SMART stands for specific,
measurable, achievable, realistic, and time-bound.
The first step in creating motivation is creating commitment to a goal. Goal commitment is the
degree of determination a person uses to achieve an accepted goal, and there are two main
factors that determine it: importance and self-efficacy. The reasons a person has for attaining a
goal, including expecting certain outcomes, comprise importance. A person’s belief that he or
she can achieve a goal is self-efficacy. If you commit to a goal, your performance will always be
higher.
A goal is meant to present a challenge to an individual, but it should still be attainable. The
level of challenge should be specific to each person to increase their motivation. The more
challenging a goal is, the more focused you become on the task and the easier it is to avoid
unnecessary distractions. You will be energized to work harder toward the difficult goal. For
example, imagine a high jumper training for the Olympics. With one month left before the trials,
her personal best is one-quarter inch away from the qualifying height. With the goal in sight,
she’s energized to train hard over the next month. People persist longer to attain difficult goals.
Finally, and most importantly, difficult goals will allow us to develop strategies that help us
perform more effectively.

Goal-setting dilemmas. If hard or difficult goals lead to higher performance and lower
satisfaction than easy goals, there is obviously a problem of how to get people (or
oneself) to be both happy and productive.
