Social cognitive theory of self-regulation
Open accessAbstract
In social cognitive theory human behavior is extensively motivated and regulated by the ongoing exercise of self-influence. The major self-regulative mechanism operates through three principal subfunctions. These include self-monitoring of one's behavior, its determinants, and its effects; judgment of one's behavior in relation to personal standards and environmental circumstances; and affective self-reaction. Self-regulation also encompasses the self-efficacy mechanism, which plays a central role in the exercise of personal agency by its strong impact on thought, affect, motivation, and action. The same self-regulative system is involved in moral conduct although compared to the achievement domain, in the moral domain the evaluative standards are more stable, the judgmental factors more varied and complex, and the affective self-reactions more intense. In the interactionist perspective of social cognitive theory, social factors affect the operation of the self-regulative system.

“when people anticipate that collaborating with a particular type of partner will lead to better performance or more useful results, their co-creation intention increases significantly (Bandura, 1991).”

“This idea aligns with decades of research in social psychology showing that much of human behavior is governed by regulatory processes: People go to great lengths to minimize the discrepancy between ideal future states and current states, which initiates various goal-directed behaviors (e.g., Bandura, 1991;Carver & Cheier, 1982;Carver & Scheier, 1998;Deci & Ryan, 2000;Friston, 2002;Gray, 1982Gray,”

“Such interventions not only help patients learn new skills to cope with their current stressors, but also serve to increase coping self-efficacy (i.e., confidence in the ability to cope with cancer), which can empower patients to face the future with less anxiety (Bandura, 1991).”

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.
