Self-Efficacy01:29

Self-Efficacy

Self-efficacy is the belief in one's capacity to organize and execute actions necessary to manage prospective situations. This belief significantly influences how individuals approach goals, tasks, and challenges across different domains of life.Psychological and Educational ImpactsIndividuals with strong self-efficacy are more resilient in the face of difficulties. They are more likely to adopt effective problem-solving strategies, persist through obstacles, and regulate emotions such as...

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem: self-efficacy,...
Self-Esteem01:28

Self-Esteem

Self-esteem, a core aspect of psychological well-being, reflects an individual's positive and negative self-evaluation in terms of worth, competence, and overall value. It is both a stable trait and a dynamic process, influenced by experiences and social interactions across the lifespan. While global self-esteem offers a general assessment, research highlights that self-esteem is multidimensional and varies across specific life domains.Domain-Specific Self-EsteemResearchers have delineated...

Social Foundations of Self III: Self-Evaluation

Self-evaluation is the process by which individuals assess their abilities, behaviors, and characteristics based on feedback from others. Charles H. Cooley observed that a person’s self-perception is primarily influenced by how others see and judge them. He suggested that individuals form their identities based on their interpretations of others' reactions. As a result, social interactions play a crucial role in shaping self-esteem and personal identity. These external evaluations often blend...
Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model01:29

Self-Evaluation Maintenance Model

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education Research
  • Psychometric Instrument Development
  • Clinical Skills Assessment

Background:

  • Accurate self-efficacy measurement is crucial for predicting nursing students' clinical performance.
  • A gap exists in validated instruments for assessing self-efficacy in clinical performance among Iranian nursing students.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Self-Efficacy in Clinical Performance (SECP) instrument for nursing students.
  • To provide a reliable and valid tool for measuring nursing students' confidence in their clinical abilities.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach including interviews and focus groups to define self-efficacy in clinical performance.
  • Development of a 69-item Likert-scale instrument, followed by content validity assessment by 20 nursing experts.
  • Testing of the scale's validity and reliability in a sample of 207 final-year nursing students.

Main Results:

  • The final SECP instrument comprises 37 items across four dimensions.
  • High internal consistency reliability (overall alpha = 0.96) and dimension-specific reliability (Cronbach's alpha 0.90-0.92).
  • Excellent test-retest reliability (r = 0.94) and significant concurrent validity (r = 0.73, P = 0.01).

Conclusions:

  • The SECP instrument demonstrates robust content validity, construct validity, concurrent validity, internal consistency, and stability.
  • The SECP serves as an objective tool for evaluating nursing students' self-efficacy in clinical performance.
  • Further validation with nursing students across different academic years is recommended.
