Without confidence in one’s ability, an individual cannot perform to his or her potential. It is even possible that someone with lesser ability, but with confidence, can outperform this person because belief in oneself can be a powerful influence. The concept of self-efficacy has often been used interchangeably with the concept of self-esteem which is the process of evaluating the self; however, self-efficacy is more accurately described as a precursor to self-esteem and is mediated by the individual’s self-attributions. (Frank, 2013).
Bandura’s Social Cognitive Model says that there are 3 factors that influence self-efficacy: behaviors, environment, and personal/cognitive factors. They all effect each other, but the cognitive factors are

This outcome is important, but being very limited it narrows the search for precursors and events in children’s environments that may affect adjustment. On a broader level, we might think of adjustment as involving not only children’s progress and achievement but also their attitudes toward school, anxieties, loneliness, social support, and academic motivation (e.g., engagement, avoidance, absences) (Birch & Ladd, 1996). Connell and Wellborn, contended that involvement, or the quality of a student’s relationships with peers and teachers, is a powerful motivator. Ryan and Powelson (2011) noted that school learning can be promoted by learning contexts that enhance student involvement with others. Research shows that children’s loneliness and social dissatisfaction relate negatively to school achievement, at times they can feel pressured when their peers excels at something, but they can also feel …show more content…
A significant interaction between parental academic support and adolescents' academic aspirations was detected for the total sample, boys, and White youth, indicating that parental support serves a protective function against conduct problems for students with low academic expectations. Adolescents' hopefulness, parental academic aspirations, and school connectedness were negatively associated with depression. Adolescents' hopefulness and their academic aspirations moderated associations between both family and school influences on adolescent adjustment with youth gender and race qualifying these interaction effects (Family and school influences on adolescents' adjustment: The moderating role of youth hopefulness and aspirations for the future,
Self-efficacy is best explained by Bandura (1995) who says that it "refers to beliefs in one's capabilities to organize and execute the courses of action required to manage prospective situations". More simply, self-efficacy is what an individual believes he or she can accomplish using his or her skills under certain circumstances (Snyder & Lopez, 2007). Self-efficacy has been thought to be a task-specific version of self-esteem. The basic principle behind Self-Efficacy Theory is that individuals are more likely to engage in activities for which they have high self-efficacy and less likely to engage in those they do not (Van der Bijl & Shortridge-Baggett, 2002). I think that this research by Snyder & lopez is particularly relevant to Simons case as.
It is important to be self confident, because you are a leader, a self starter , and you can accomplish anything. “Ugh”, Clorinda said to herself as she rode the bus over to cheer try-outs. She looked outside her window sadly. Everyone else on the bus was just talking away and laughing. “Clo what's wrong with you?’ , said Amaya.
Loneliness is an emotional state where one is socially isolated and lacks human interaction which is experienced by many people around the world. Although it is a frequent occurrence around the world, it is usually disregarded and ignored. The novel Speak and the article “Teens in Covid Isolation: “I felt like I was suffocating”, displays the experiences many children faced with loneliness and how it impacts their life. Loneliness is an aspect of depression, and those who experience it can lead to self-harm, decreased academic performance, and struggle to talk about it to others. People who struggle with loneliness often find it difficult to let their true feelings out, leading to a sense of isolation and emotional distress.
“A strong sense of attachment, bonding, and belonging, and a feeling of being cared about characterize adolescents’ positive relationships with their teachers and their school (APA, 2002). Students are more willing to engage and give their best attempts when they have a reason to - they feel like they matter and they understand that what they are learning is relative to their lives. Math class has the opposite effect for Victoria. She recalled how from first grade her mathematical foundation was poorly established.
Loneliness and isolation is very common in the real world. We will spectate how loneliness and
Also, parents who become involved with their child’s education will have a better understanding as to why education is important. “For 15 years, PIQE has developed and widely implemented a model for increasing parent involvement in K-12 schools where parent participation has been difficult to achieve.” (Project, 2002). Furthermore, mobility is an issue as to why some children do not get a proper education. “Frequent change of environment keeps the student in a constant state of flux” Reyes, P., Garza, E., & Trueba, E. T.
According to UCLA.edu, “the need to connect socially with others is as basic as our need for food, water, and shelter”. Additionally, according to ncbi.gov, “ it is generally accepted by the vast majority of the experts working in this field that loneliness frequently results in a decline of well-being and causes depression as an effect.” These conclusions have been reached from noticing the dire effects of not having sufficient amount of social interaction. As a matter of fact, the human race as a whole has succeeded due to our high amounts of interaction with one another, so when someone refuses to reach out to anyone, people begin to feel empty inside or that they unlike anyone else. As this feeling is sustained throughout adolescence, it begins enlarge and overtime, lead to substantial depression.
It is vital as people need to have a sense of belonging and acceptance from their social group such as family and friends to prevent form loneliness. Worse still, a new research suggests that loneliness and social isolation are as much a threat to our health. (Gupta, 2015). The next level of needs is self-esteem needs such as achievement, independence, status, prestige and managerial responsibility

1.2 SELF-EFFICACY “Self efficacy is the belief in one’s capabilities To organize and execute the sources of action Required to manage prospective situations.” (Bandura, 1986) Three decades have now passed since (Bandura, 1977) first introduced the construct of self efficacy. The concept of self efficacy developed within the studies of human social cognition theories.
They can be visualized as a triangle with free movement between the 3 sides. As our textbook says, an individual’s confidence that he or she can control his or her success is an example of a person factor: strategies are an example of a cognitive factor. Self-efficacy is an important part of Bandura’s theory. Self-efficacy, according to Bandura, is believing that you can accomplish a certain task or succeed in a certain situation. Within self-efficacy, a person may avoid learning a certain task because they do not feel they can accomplish it.
1.2.1.2 Bandura’s social cognitive theory (1997) While one strand of research grounded in Rotter’s Social Learning Theory developed, a second strand emerged, growing out of Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory and his construct of Self-Efficacy, as initially described in his 1977 article, ‘‘Self-Efficacy: Toward a unifying theory of behavioral change’’. Bandura (1997) defined perceived Self-Efficacy as ‘‘beliefs in one’s capabilities
From the given context, self-efficacy refers to an individuals convictions about his/her skills and abilities and also from Bandura’s definition he referred to it “as a people’s belief about their capabilities to produce levels of performance that exercise influence over events that affect their lives or high assurance in their capabilities”. In this theory, summarizing that will only pursue things that they think or believe that are in their capable of doing and accomplishing and vice versa for the things they think they are going to fail. In addition, people with a strong sense of efficacy strongly believes that they can accomplish even the most difficult task; this way of point viewing, they are seeing it as a challenging goal to be mastered than threats to be
Students with good school and good social connectedness are less likely to experience subsequent mental health issues and be involved in health risk behaviours, and are more likely to have good educational outcomes. School connectedness, however, includes relationships with peers, teachers, and learning. Thus, the challenge is not whether school or social connectedness is more important, but how we can promote both school connectedness and social connectedness in forms that promote learning and
Loneliness People experience loneliness as a negative emotion that arises from a discrepancy between desired and achieved levels of social contact (Tan et al., 2013). One can experiences loneliness whether they are surround by several people or not; Tan, Pamuk, and Donder (2013) proposed that the multiplicity of social relations does not matter, instead the quality of these interactions matter. The absences of satisfying needs for attachment and belonging may increase the levels of loneliness one will experience (Reid & Reid, 2007). Lonely individuals can feel empty, or angry.
