From the Paper:
"The self-efficacy theory is based on the statement that people deal with the environment and various situations based on their self-judgments of how well they can perform in a given scenario and how well they can cope with a given behavior. Self-efficacy also determines how long the individuals will persist at facing an obstacle and how much effort will be put in overcoming it (Bandura, 1982)."
