Answer to Question 1

Answer: High self-efficacy is correlated with better performance on basic skills tests. There is a smaller relationship between self-efficacy and performance on complex tests, but a correlation does exist. People with high self-efficacy seem to be better performers, and better performers have high self-esteem.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Self-compassion is being kind to yourself and treating yourself with the same compassion with which you treat others. It has three specific components: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. It involves bouncing back from mistakes, appreciating that we are all human, and having an awareness of our thoughts and feelings so we can do better next time. People high in self-compassion are able to experience negative events and setbacks in life without becoming reactive, defensive, and depressed. They learn from their mistakes instead.
