Bandura (1997) postulates four sources of SE information; mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, verbal-social persuasion and physiological and emotional arousal which has to do with the level of emotional and physiological readiness of the individual to undertake a specific task. Although all four sources of SE information play roles in the creation of efficacy beliefs, it is the interpretation of this information that is critical. Cognitive processing determines how the sources of information will be weighed and how they will influence the analysis of the task and the assessment of personal competence.
