Perceived self-efficacy in the exercise of control over AIDS infection

Open access
Bandura, Albert·1990·Evaluation and Program Planning

Abstract

This article analyzes the influential role played by perceived self-efficacy in the exercise of control over behavior that carries risk of AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) infection. Effective programs of self-directed change require four major components. The first is informational, designed to increase awareness and knowledge of health risks. The second component is concerned with development of the social and self-regulatory skills needed to translate informed concerns into preventive action. The third component is aimed at skill enhancement and building resilient self-efficacy through guided practice and corrective feedback in applying the skills in high-risk situations. The final component involves enlisting social supports for desired personal changes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
