When students have experienced academic success, they are more likely to believe they can succeed again in the future. These are known as mastery experiences.

  • Students can learn from others who are succeeding at a challenging task, and increase their own self-efficacy beliefs in the process. These are known as vicarious experiences.

  • Students’ beliefs are influenced by the feedback they get from peers and teachers. This process is referred to as social influence or persuasion.

  • Students respond to their thoughts, feelings, and physiological states when they work on a task, and their beliefs are affected by these thoughts, feelings, and conditions.
