Children's Self-Efficacy, Motivational Intentions, and Attributions in Physical Education and Sport

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine how differences in children's self-efficacy, age, and gender impact motivational intentions, future self-efficacy, and attributions following perceptions of failure. Children, ages 8-14 years (N = 289), were assigned to either high or low self-efficacy groups, and measures of intended effort, persistence, choice, future self-efficacy, and attributions for failure were collected following a failure scenario. Results indicated that children with higher self-efficacy chose… Show more

“…However, 22 in a multiple goal environment Vancouver, Thompson, and Williams (2001) argue that "if limited 23 Self-efficacy and personal goals 4 resources are required to maintain two goals, beliefs that one goal is being met frees up resources 1 for the other goal" (p. 617). Therefore, if individuals with high efficacy beliefs regarding goal 2 attainment believe they are meeting their goal, they may devote less resources and commitment to 3 that goal and instead, focus their attention on other goals that they are less confident in obtaining 4 (especially if the other goals are personally important). 5 Research suggests that goal importance has its own motivational properties in relation to goal 6 pursuits.…”

“…Self-efficacy refers to the belief that one is capable of 10 organising and executing the courses of action required to achieve desired levels of attainment. 11 Research has shown that individuals with high levels of self-efficacy are more likely to: increase 12 on-task effort (Bandura & Cervone, 1983); be more committed to goals (Locke, Frederick, Lee, & 13 Bobko, 1984; Locke & Latham, 1990); choose more difficult goals and tasks (Chase, 2001; Escarti 14 & Guzman, 1999; Waung, MacNeil, & Vance, 1995); make greater goal progress (Sheldon & 15 Kasser, 1998); intensify effort when accomplishments fall short of aspirations (Peake & Cervone,16 1989); and show higher levels of task engagement (Caraway, Tucker, Reinke, & Hall, 2003; 17 Walker, Greene, & Mansell, 2004). 18 However, one limitation of self-efficacy research in relation to goals is that it has typically 19 focused on single goal tasks (see Bandura, 1997).…”
