Why does a high level of self-efficacy correlate positively with health behavior changes?


Self-efficacy affects individual choices, the amount of effort put into a task, views of barriers, and willingness to pursue goals when faced with obstacles. As a result, a person's confidence in his or her ability to accomplish a behavior change may be more important than actual skill.
