Thank you for your reference.
Having read the overview, I conjecture we can summarize it as "Belief in
one's ability to do things successfully." To what extent am I off the

It appears that self-efficacy has a large number of factors contributing
to it. Am I correct in the assumption that this forum is/can be used for
the promotion of factors contributing to self-efficacy?
Thanks.
