Abstract:
Psychology has explored the complicated topic of self-confdence from a number of theoretical perspectives. According to Bandura’s Social Learning Theory, for instance, verbal persuasion, emotional stimulation, and personal success experiences all contribute to the development of self-confdence. This theory focuses on the outside elements that affect self-confdence. Another signifcant idea is Weiner’s Causal Attribution idea, which examines how individuals ascribe success and failure to their own actions. People with more self-confdence ascribe their success to internal factors like personal ability, whereas those with lower self-confdence blame internal factors for their failure. According to Festinger’s Social Comparison Theory, people build their self-confdence by evaluating how they compare to others. People with higher selfconfdence are those who compare themselves to others and see that they are performing better than most of them, while those with lower self-confdence are those who do the opposite and see that they are performing worse than most of them. These theories all offer distinctive viewpoints on the growth of self-confdence. Self-confdence is a complex construct that is impacted by a range of internal and external circumstances, and it is crucial to recognize this in therapeutic practice.
