Outcome Expectation and Self-Efficacy as Predictors of Exercise Behavior Among College Students

Jacob Corey

Social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1998) is widely-employed for understanding health behavior, and positions outcome expectations and self-efficacy as key psychosocial predictors of behavior. Overall, this research extends understanding regarding the nature of outcome expectations and self-regulatory efficacy, with theoretical implications for social cognitive theory. This research also includes measurement-related implications, such as the need to improve outcome expectation measures to include a wider array of experiential/affective outcomes among college students.
