•Performance Experiences
if you are good at achieving your specific goal, then you probably think that you will achieve it again. When the opposite happens, if you fail, you will often think that you will fail again.

•TheAffective States&Physical Sensations
if your mood or emotion (e.g. shame) and physical state (e.g. shaking) come together, it will affect your self-efficacy. If negative mood connects with negative physical sensation, the result will be negative. And if it is positive, most likely the result will be positive.
•Imaginal Performances
When you imagine yourself doing well, then it will happen.
•Verbal Persuasion
it is when people tell you whether they believe or not on what you can do or cannot do. The effect of your self-efficacy will depend on how that person matters to you.
According to William James, a psychologist, "the self is what happens when I reflect upon ME".
Taylor described the self as a Reflective Project. How we see ourselves is geared toward improving ourselves depending on a lot of factors.
Self as Motivated Agent
o People act based on their purpose. They do things based on their own dreams, desires, and planned goals for the future. This, though, is not easily identifiable since it is self-conceptualized, unless it was shared with us.
1.Self as Social Actor
o We are portraying different roles and behaving for every type/ set of people in front of us since we all care about what people think about us. It is practically for social acceptance.
