Understand the concept of self-efficacy: Albert Bandura introduced the concept of self-efficacy, which refers to an individual's belief in their ability to succeed in specific situations or accomplish a task.
Identify the key behavior: Connie decides against interviewing for a promotion because she believes she will do poorly.
Relate behavior to self-efficacy: Connie's decision is based on her belief in her inability to perform well, which indicates low self-efficacy.
Differentiate from other concepts: A neurotic personality, external locus of control, and negative self-concept are different psychological concepts that do not directly explain Connie's behavior in this context.
Conclude with Bandura's perspective: According to Bandura, Connie's decision not to interview is a result of low self-efficacy, as she doubts her capability to succeed in the interview.
