Primes¶
- Collective Efficacy
- Bandura (2000) formalized the concept as a group-level belief in the group's agency: "perceived collective efficacy reflects belief in the group's conjoint capability to organize and execute the courses of action required to produce given levels of attainment"
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract confirms Bandura's article treats perceived collective efficacy as a group-level, agentic belief, but contains no such quoted definition, so the verbatim wording stands unverified from this source.
“The growing interdependence of human functioning is placing a premium on the exercise of collective agency through shared beliefs in the power to produce effects by collective action.”

- Self-Efficacy
- T5 — Self-efficacy as universal construct vs. cultural variation. Bandura's theory treats self-efficacy as a universal motivational mechanism, but research has documented cultural variation in how efficacy beliefs operate and are valued.
This sourceFormal operationalization of collective efficacy as group-level extension of self-efficacy; clarifies mechanisms of collective agency. Bandura collective efficacy operationalization.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Bandura's abstract states personal efficacy as a universal, pivotal mechanism of human agency, backing only the first clause of the claim; it says nothing about cultural variation in efficacy beliefs.
“Among the mechanisms of human agency, none is more focal or pervading than the belief of personal efficacy. This core belief is the foundation of human agency. Unless people believe that they can produce desired effects and forestall undesired ones by their actions, they have little incentive to act.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
