The present research aimed to study the effect of re-attributional training on self-efficacy and its sub-dimensions namely academic, social and emotional self-efficacy. A sample of 60 female students with low efficacy beliefs between the age group of 14-17 years was selected randomly from various educational institutions of Chandigarh. An experimental-control design was used. An anagram task was manipulated to improve the self-efficacy of the students. Low efficacious students were subjected to positive outcome feedback for their performance on the task. After the training phase, the participants were assessed on a self-efficacy questionnaire for children (Muris, 2001) for measuring their altered self-efficacy. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data. The analysis indicated that re-attributional training played a significant role in raising self-efficacy and its sub-dimensions. The practical guidelines and future research recommendations will be discussed.

Abstract


The present research aimed to study the effect of re-attributional training on self-efficacy and its sub-dimensions namely academic, social and emotional self-efficacy. A sample of 60 female students with low efficacy beliefs between the age group of 14-17 years was selected randomly from various educational institutions of Chandigarh. An experimental-control design was used. An anagram task was manipulated to improve the self-efficacy of the students. Low efficacious students were subjected to positive outcome feedback for their performance on the task. After the training phase, the participants were assessed on a self-efficacy questionnaire for children (Muris, 2001) for measuring their altered self-efficacy. One-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data. The analysis indicated that re-attributional training played a significant role in raising self-efficacy and its sub-dimensions. The practical guidelines and future research recommendations will be discussed.
