This document discusses several studies on self-efficacy beliefs and attribution theories in educational contexts. Specifically, it examines how social contexts influence the development of self-efficacy and attribution, and how these factors act as motivators for learning. Several studies are referenced that look at the relationship between teaching methods and chemistry self-efficacy, sources of self-efficacy in underachieving college students, and explanatory thinking about failure in new academic settings.
