"Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in his or her capacity to execute behaviors necessary to produce specific performance attainments (Bandura, 1977, 1986, 1997). Self-efficacy reflects confidence in the ability to exert control over one's own motivation, behavior, and social environment."[1] See also: Agency (psychology) and Interpersonal skills and Social intelligence
According to La Trobe University: "Psychologists have found that if a person has lower levels of self-efficacy they are more likely to focus on feelings of failure rather than success. People with higher levels of self-efficacy are more likely to cope better in adverse situations (Park and Folkman, 1997)."[2]
A person's self-efficacy is related to their self-concept which is the image a person has of themselves.[3]
Visualization and confidence building
See also: Visualization (psychology) and Confidence and Courage
In psychology, visualization is the process of creating mental images or rehearsing movements in your mind. It's also known as mental imagery.[4]
Visualization is often used in sport psychology where the athlete mentally rehearses a perfect performance. Research indicates that people who engage in positive visualization tend to exhibit higher levels of self-confidence and they are more apt to pursue their goals with determination.[5][6] Visualization is also used for stress management and anxiety reduction.[7]
How self-efficacy changes self-identity
See also: Identity (psychology) and Skill and Interpersonal skills and Communication skills and Emotional intelligence
Self-efficacy significantly affects self-identity by influencing how a person perceives their capabilities and competence in various areas of life which shapes their overall self-image and determine the type and difficulty of the goals they set for themselves. This strongly influences to how they see themselves as a person. A strong sense of self-efficacy can cause a more positive self-identity, whereas low self-efficacy can result in a more negative self-perception.[8]

Core self-evaluations (CSE) is a psychological "theory that includes four personality dimensions: self-esteem, self-efficacy, locus of control" and neuroticism.[9][10][11] "Core self-evaluations are instinctive judgments that we all make about ourselves and our lives."[12]
