“…According to self‐efficacy theory (16), self‐efficacy beliefs revolve around people's confidence to organize and execute specific actions needed to produce a given attainment. When the attainment is regularly doing planned physical activity, efficacy in capabilities to self‐regulate is a key predictor (13, 16–19).…”

“…To do regular activity, individuals may need to self‐regulate across the setting of activity goals, the self‐monitoring of goal progress, the scheduling in of activity, and problem solving to cope with barriers (21, 22). Individuals who are efficacious in their abilities to self‐regulate will expend considerable effort and persistence in such skills, resulting in a greater likelihood of meeting their desired activity outcomes (16, 19, 21, 23).…”

Objective. To examine whether the theory-based social cognitions of perceived barrier frequency, barrier limitation, and self-regulatory efficacy to cope were predictors of planned physical activity among adult women with arthritis. A secondary purpose was to identify and provide a phenomenologic description of the relevant barriers and coping strategies reported by study participants. Methods. Eighty adult women (mean ؎ SD age 49.09 ؎ 12.89 years) with self-reported doctor-diagnosed arthritis participated in this observational study. Participants completed online survey measures of barriers to physical activity and, for each barrier, reported the frequency of occurrence and the extent of limitation. Measures of coping strategies for each barrier, efficacy to cope, and physical activity were also obtained. Results. A multiple hierarchical regression analysis resulted in a model that significantly predicted physical activity (F[9,70] ‫؍‬ 6.80, P < 0.01, adjusted R 2 ‫؍‬ 0.40). Barrier limitation (standardized ␤ ‫؍‬ ؊0.56) and efficacy (standardized ␤ ‫؍‬ 0.20) were significant independent predictors. Phenomenologic findings indicated that arthritis-specific personal barriers (e.g., pain and fatigue due to arthritis) and arthritis-specific coping strategies (e.g., activity modification) were more commonly reported than generic barriers and coping strategies. Conclusion. Self-regulatory efficacy to cope and relevant perceived physical activity barriers, which were primarily arthritis-specific and moderately or more limiting to planned physical activity, were important social cognitive predictors of physical activity, a key nonpharmacologic arthritis treatment, among women with arthritis. Future research direction should examine potential moderators of the relationship between these predictors and physical activity, such as pain acceptance.

“…Within the theoretical framework of SDT, emphasis is put on the role of autonomous motivation, which regulates one's behavior and facilitates psychological growth (Shahar, Henrich, Blatt, Ryan, & Little, 2003). Consequently, maintaining a strong sense of self-determination (e.g., being autonomously motivated) should facilitate goal pursuit because challenges are seen as tasks to be mastered (see also Bandura, 1997;Locke & Latham, 2002), a claim that is empirically well established (Maddux & Volkmann, 2010). Longitudinal research has found that internal resources such as self-determination coincide with feelings of autonomy and volition in young adults, both of which facilitate the pursuit of appropriate developmental tasks (Dietrich, Shulman, & Nurmi, 2013;Powers, Koestner, & Zuroff, 2007).…”

Objective Past research has confirmed the role of self‐criticism in numerous forms of psychopathology and negative interpersonal outcomes. However, the majority of these studies were cross‐sectional and have not addressed the role of possible changes in self‐criticism across time for future outcomes. The current study investigated the degree to which changes in self‐criticism during young adulthood precede better psychological outcomes beyond the contribution of their baseline levels. Method A total of 168 Israeli emerging adults were followed for 12 years. Participants completed assessments of self‐criticism at age 23, 24, 26.5, and 29, and of developmental tasks and psychological adaptation at age 35. Analyses assessed the extent to which the intercept and linear slope of self‐criticism were associated with assessments of coping with age‐related tasks and psychological well‐being at age 35. Results Findings indicated that decreases in self‐criticism between the ages of 23 and 29 were associated with better coping with age‐related task outcomes and psychological health at age 35. Conclusions These findings are among the first to show that decreases in self‐criticism serve as important precursors of coping with age‐related tasks and psychological outcomes and point to the positive contributions of changes in personality attributes for future development.

“…One social cognitive theory-based social cognition that may be most salient when examining engagement in motivated behaviors, like active transportation, is self-regulatory efficacy beliefs (Bandura, 2004). Such beliefs revolve around individuals' confidence to regularly implement control over their thoughts and actions needed to achieve a desired outcome, such as an on-time arrival to a routine destination (Bandura, 1986(Bandura, , 1997Baumeister & Vohs, 2003;Brawley, Rejeski, & King, 2003;Maddux & Gosselin, 2003;McAuley & Mihalko, 1998). In considering the action of walking to a routine destination, individuals may need to self-regulate their weekly scheduling of walking and how they will overcome barriers that might impede their active transportation (e.g., poor weather; pressed for time).…”

Walking for transportation is associated with health benefits. Minimal theory‐based research has examined social cognitive and environmental predictors. This study examined social cognitions (self‐regulatory efficacy to plan/schedule and overcome barriers; distance and travel time cognitions) and an environmental factor (proximity) as predictors of walking for transportation. Participants (n = 105) were university students, faculty, and staff, living within a walkable distance to campus. Social cognitions and proximity measures were completed at baseline, followed by walking for transportation to/from the campus over 2 weeks. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis predicted walking (R2adjusted = .55; p < .05). Self‐regulatory efficacy to plan/schedule and overcome barriers were independent predictors (p's < .01). Findings supported theoretical contentions that self‐regulatory efficacy predicts walking for transportation.
