Discuss the role of self-efficacy and learned helplessness on possible selves and motivation, and how culture may play a role in whether or not one sees “hoped for” possible selves or “feared possible selves” more likely in academic or career success.

Discuss the role of self-efficacy and attributional beliefs on:

Discuss at least two of these factors on your own hoped for and feared possible selves.
