– Confidence a person has in his or her ability to perform a behavior and overcome barriers
Self-Efficacy
Movement Studies in Disability- 4 -
– One of the strongest correlates to physical activity
– Stems from personal factors (age, gender, health) & environmental factors (safe facilities, transportation, social support)
(Anderson, Wojcik, Winett, & Williams, 2006; Sallis & Owen, 1999)
Self-Efficacy for Physical Activity
Special populations have more challenges with these factors
Movement Studies in Disability- 5 -
Purpose of Review
To investigate the relationship of self-efficacy on physical activity behavior in special populations by employing a meta analysis
Movement Studies in Disability- 6 -
MethodsMethods
– Articles reviewed through Pubmed, Medline, and Ebscohost databases
• Keywords: physical activity, self-efficacy, older adult, intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, and single names of disabilities (e.g., multiple sclerosis, spina bifida, spinal cord injuries, etc.)
– Special populations chosen for review:• Intellectual disabilities• Physical disabilities• Neurological disabilities• Older adults (65+ years)

DiscussionDiscussion
Sources of Self-Efficacy 1.Performance attainments2.Vicarious experiences3.Verbal persuasion and social influence4.Psychological states
Bandura (1987)

Self-efficacy for Physical Activity in Special Populations:Self-efficacy for Physical Activity in Special Populations:
Intellectual disabilities
1) Performance attainments– Positive experiences in early environments
2) Vicarious experiences– Role modeling through peers and supports
3) Verbal persuasion and social influence– Need supports to “show them how” to be active, provide encouragement, and provide tangible support
4) Psychological states– Lack of perceived personal skills
(J. Peterson et al., 2008; Temple, 2008)

Self-efficacy for Physical Activity in Special Populations:Self-efficacy for Physical Activity in Special Populations:
Physical Disabilities
1) Performance attainments– Gain knowledge and recall positive PA experiences
2) Vicarious experiences– Role modeling
• Observing others succeeding in PA• Becoming a role model
3) Verbal persuasion and social influence– Insufficient supports– Important to be apart of a social network
4) Psychological states– Pain, fatigue, anxiety, and level of neurologic impairment or limitations– Negative beliefs about the benefits
(Kersten et al., 2006; Kroll et al., 2007; Middleton et al., 2007; Nosek,et al., 2006)

Self-efficacy for Physical Activity in Special Populations:Self-efficacy for Physical Activity in Special Populations:
Multiple Sclerosis
1) Performance attainments– Previous PA attainments and knowledge prior to onset of disease – Acknowledging accomplishments w/ MS
2) Vicarious experiences– Role models
• seeing others with MS succeed • providing confidence for others
3) Verbal persuasion and social influence– Support from others participating in a PA program– Feeling comfortable and accepted– Social supports are critical for women with MS
4) Psychological states– Symptoms (fatigue, spasticity, mobility, depression, and pain)
(Kasser, 2009; Motl et al., 2006; Snook, et al., 2007 )

Self-efficacy for Physical Activity in Special Populations:Self-efficacy for Physical Activity in Special Populations:
Older Adults (65+ years)
1) Performance attainments– Previous participation in PA means continued confidence
later in life• Older women (today) don’t recall these experiences
2) Vicarious experiences– Role models- variability in this influence
• Seeing others “worse off” doing better may think negatively about their progressOR
• Positive influence- believe “If they can do it, I can do it!”
3) Verbal persuasion and social influence– Women tend to be more active with supports
4) Psychological states– Outcome expectations– “too old” to exercise, no benefits, may cause
injury– Self-evaluation and perceptions of self – Mental and physical health
(Lee et al., 2008; Resnick, et al., 2000; Resnick, 2002)

Implications: Strategies for the Classroom Strategies for the Classroom
1. Be aware of previous history or experiences in PE setting
2. Reduce competition
3. Provide positive specificreinforcements and encouragement
4. Choose activities that are appropriate
5. Provide a welcoming and “safe” environment
6. Gradually decrease the use of assistance (Block, 2007)
