People are inevitable influenced by their surroundings, hence the nurture-nature debate. Naturally optimistic and self-efficacious people can be influenced to be otherwise, and vice versa. It is suggested that the belief of a person in self-efficacy is through failures and successes; vicarious experiences of social models; social persuasion; and emotional responses.

Considering these four influences, it would be reasonable to propose that a person with perceptions of self-efficacy acts in a different way from people who have poor perceptions of self-worth. The following are traits of people who have achieved significant self-efficacy development.

Goal setting. These are people with a clear, organized plan for everything they do. They are often purposeful, ambitious without being driven, successful in projects they undertake and given to intelligent decision-making based on logical constructs and integration of variables. They learn from their mistakes and are often task-oriented. They handle pressure well and continue to think analytically despite increased stress. They are not easily rattled and are resilient when events provide a less-than-ideal situation.

Motivated. Self-efficacious people believe that it is effort and not ability, which leads to success as well as failures. They seldom attribute poor ability as the cause of negative outcomes. Their actions are often based on what they have perceived to contribute to success, and results of efforts to improve a situation are typically better than previous outcomes. Self-efficacious people are persistent and methodical in their pursuits; firm in their self- determined course of action provide d no ove rt evide nce exists that negates their beliefs. Self-efficacious people are not afraid to take calculated risks, believing they can carry it off to a successful conclusion if it can be done at all. The incentive to succeed is often motivated by desire for self-satisfaction and compliance to self-imposed standards rather than other motivations.

Calm and relaxed. People with developed self-efficacy are seldom victims of anxiety and depression even in the most stressful situations. They are unfailingly optimistic and proactive, preferring to dwell on the positive aspects of a situation rather than bemoaning the negative. They are mostly on an even keel with their surroundings, functioning well with all types of people and refusing to engage in fruitless endeavors. They make friends easily. They are socially adept and satisfying as companions. They are supportive in times of crises and rise to the occasion when necessary. Self-efficacious people delight in pushing the envelope in their endeavors, always expecting good outcomes and learning from bad ones for “next time.”
