Self-Efficacy Is Not The Same As Bravado

  • Bravado is reflected in behaviors done to show courage:
  • I can read this once and I remember it all
  • I can say no to anyone, anytime I want to
  • I know all I need to know
  • I have great will power and courage
  • I don’t need to practice, I’ll remember it when I need it
  • Bravado is dangerous, because you can fool yourself into believing that you don’t need to continue building skills, practicing, and gaining knowledge to change your behavior and your life
