Answer to Question 2

Students high in self-efficacy accept challenging tasks, persist when they don't initially reach their goals, believe they will succeed, change strategies if the strategies aren't working, and perform higher than low-efficacy students. Low-efficacy students avoid challenging tasks, exert minimum effort, give up when goals aren't reached, focus on feelings of incompetence, experience anxiety and depression, persist with unproductive strategies, and perform lower than high-efficacy students of equal ability.
