Question

Jakub was recently hired as the tennis professional for a private country club. Jakub won national tennis titles in college, and competed in a few professional matches. Jakub is confident he will do well in his new job. His confidence is a reflection of his ________.
A) self-appraisal
B) self-actualization
C) self-efficacy
D) self-elevation
E) self-elation

Answer 1

Answer:

Self-efficacy

Explanation:

Self-efficacy refers to an individual's beliefs on his capacity to perform certain activities. It has to do with self-confidence

In this case, Jakub thinks he will do well in his job at the country club because he has won national tennis titles and competed professionally, therefore, he has confidence in his capacity and this is self-efficacy.

Note:

Self-actualization: refers to the full realization of our capacities.

Self-appraisal: refers to our evaluation of our own worth.

Self-elevation: refers to our belief that we are better than what we actually are.

Self-elation: refers to pride in one's achievements.

Jakub attitude has to with confidence, not with pride in his achievements or his belief that he's better than others. It doesn't refer to his own worth or the full realization of his capacities. That's why the answer isn't either of the other options.
