Self as Proactive and Agentic
Self as Proactive and Agentic
Dr. Albert Bandura’s theory is founded on a human agency which means that people have a hand in determining the course their lives have to take. In many aspects, his theory is a reflection of his life path. Trivial events can determine the path we are going. Sometimes the most important ones are often determined by the most trivial of circumstances.
The core features of the human agency are stated below:
Intentionality awareness and the will to act in a particular way based on an idea or mental state
Forethought ability to involves the availability to anticipate the outcomes of actions
Self Regulation have the power to guide us to the right actions
Self-Reflectiveness reflect on personal efficacy, thoughts, actions, and the meaning of their pursuits, and make corrective adjustments if necessary.
Reflecting on these core features, I think being self-agentic and proactive in terms of determining our goals, objectives, and actions will lead us to a better future. We should learn how to choose, anticipate and reflect on our actions. Focusing on our goals based on assessments, planning, selecting, and implementing greatly helps us to handle life’s struggles and victories.
Moreover, Dr. Bandura emphasizes the importance of observing, modeling, and imitating the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others. Social learning theory considers how both environmental and cognitive factors interact to influence human learning and behavior.
I believe that we should have the initiative to be better and control the things we can control and forget the things we can’t control. You can’t stop the storm to come but you can always prepare for it. Our reactions to situations have a great impact on ourselves and on society. Through these, we may know the positive and negative effects of various situations. Self-efficacy teaches us to believe in our capabilities and strengths on our own. To be prepared because we are ready. With this, we learn to understand ourselves and how we deal with people around us and in every situation, we are in.
In this fast-paced era, technologies and speed of information are extensive, everyone has the ability to display and relay their thoughts to everyone around the world in just a snap. We can use this to inspire the public and improve people’s conditions.
