Since the ability to control your own life is the essence of what it means to be human, Albert Bandura believes that one of the most important expectancies we develop concerns our capacity for producing a desired result. Bandura called this concept .A. self-reinforcement.
B. self-efficacy.
C. congruence.
D. organismic valuing.

Ans

B. self-efficacy

Explanation:

Self-efficacy is one of the most powerful predictors of health behavior (Bandura 1997, Schwarzer and Fuchs 1996). It has its origins in Bandura's social cognitive theory, which states that behavior is a function of both incentives (i.e., reinforcements) and expectancies.

B- Self Efficacy

Explanation:

Self-efficacy can be defined as believing in one own self or ability to carryout a specific task and achieve the desired result. A person who has self-efficacy personality are often confidence in their ability to have control over their own motivation and behaviour because they believe that they can execute behaviour that are important to produce a particular performance attainment.

Example a person who has never had experience in sewing people cloths or dress before but believe that she has the ability and confidence to learn and do well or perform well in sewing people dresses.

Therefore the ability to control your own life is the essence of what it means to be human according to Albert Bandura is called SELF EFFICACY.
