Self
confidence
Confidence is a state of being clear-headed
either that a hypothesis or prediction is
correct or that a chosen course of action is
the best or most effective. Confidence
comes from a Latin word 'fidere' which
means "to trust"; therefore, having self-
confidence is having trust in one's self.

5. SELF CONFIDENCE
The concept of self-confidence is
commonly used as self-assurance in one's
personal judgment, ability, power, etc.
One's self confidence increases from
experiences of having satisfactorily
completed particular activities. It is a
positive belief that in the future one can
generally accomplish what one wishes to
do.

6. Various stages of people and their
self confidence aspects:
✓ For children
Zimmerman claimed that if
children are self-confident
they can learn they are
more likely to sacrifice
immediate recreational
time for possible rewards
in the future. enhancing
their self-regulative
capability
In children, self-confidence
emerges differently than
adults. For example,
Fenton suggested that only
children as a group are
more self-confident than
other children.
✓ For students
In general, students who
perform well have
increased confidence
which likely in turn
encourages students to
take greater responsibility
to successfully complete
tasks. Students who
perform better receive
more positive evaluations
report and greater self-
confidence. Low achieving
students report less
confidence and high
performing students report
higher self-confidence.
✓ For adults/ teens
In a survey it wads
reported that teen or
adults who engage with
more people show self
confident nature. It was
also noted that in college
teens ,the athletes were
more self confident than
the scholars. Also the
teens and adults with
more siblings had a
confident nature and a
bold one but in the case of
single child it was less.

7. Difference in self esteem
and self confidence:
Self-confidence is not
the same as self-
esteem, which is an
evaluation of one's own
worth, whereas self-
confidence is more
specifically trust in one's
ability to achieve some
goal, which one meta-
analysis suggested is
similar to generalization
of self-efficacy.
Confidence is a measure
of faith in one's own
abilities; esteem is about
our sense of self. It
involves both thoughts
and emotions and
influences how we
perceive others and
interact with the world.

THE TWO MAJOR
WRONG TYPES OF
SELF-CONFIDENCE

17. 17
Lack of self-confidence
Self-confidence has an effect on interest and/or
enthusiasm and self-regulation.
Self-confidence is not motivation, but it plays a factor
in what one perceives they are capable of performing.
Low confidence makes it less likely that a person will
initiate action and more likely that a person will
disengage because they doubt they can handle what
needs to be done.
Even with skill and motivation, without confidence,
goals are not likely to be met. In certain fields of
medical practice patients experience lack of self-
confidence during the recovery period.
This is commonly referred to as DSF or "defectum sui
fiducia" from the Latin etymology of lack of self-
confidence.

18. For example, this can be the case after stroke
whereby the patient refrains from using the
weaker lower limb due to fear of it not being
strong enough to hold their weight whilst
standing or walking.
The mindset that an individual has towards their
goals is influenced by self-confidence. As well as
“to mediate the relationship between goals
intentions and motivation.” Research has shown
that the higher the confidence is, the higher the
goals. Due to the belief that they can accomplish
and are able to commit to greater goals. That’s
where self confidence speaks.

OVER CONFIDENCE
The overconfidence effect is a well-
established bias in which a person's
subjective confidence in his or her judgments
is reliably greater than the objective accuracy
of those judgments, especially when
confidence is relatively high. Overconfidence
is one example of a miscalibration of
subjective probabilities.

20. 20
MAJOR TYPES OF
OVERCONFIDENCE:
• Overestimation: One manifestation of the overconfidence
effect is the tendency to overestimate one's standing on a
dimension of judgment or performance. This subsection of
overconfidence focuses on the certainty one feels in their own
ability, performance, level of control, or chance of success.
• Overprecision: Overprecision is the excessive confidence that
one knows the truth.
• Overplacement: Overplacement is the most prominent
manifestation of the overconfidence effect which is a belief
that erroneously rates someone as better than others.
