The introduction of the psychological construct of self-efficacy is widely acknowledged as one of the most important developments in the history of psychology. Today, it is simply not possible to explain phenomena such as human motivation, learning, self-regulation, and accomplishment without discussing the role played by self-efficacy beliefs. In this, the fifth volume of our series on adolescence and education, we focus on the self-efficacy beliefs of adolescents. We are proud and fortunate to be able to bring together the most prominent voices in the study of self-efficacy, including that of the Father of Social Cognitive Theory and of self-efficacy, Professor Albert Bandura. It is our hope, and our expectation, that this volume will become required reading for all students and scholars in the areas of adolescence and of motivation and, of course, for all who play a pivotal role in the education and care of youth.

Uno degli interrogativi più pregnanti della moderna psicologia è quello inerente alle potenzialità umane: perché un individuo è più forte, più agile, più dinamico e creativo rispetto ad un altro pur avendo lo stesso quoziente intellettivo? Quali sono i fattori che rendono una persona meno vulnerabile allo sviluppo di condizioni di disagio psichico? Quali sono i fattori che rendono una persona più brillante ed efficace? Come si può accrescere il proprio talento, essere leader di se stessi? È questa la vera sfida della psicologia del positivo che, avendo superato i legami con il modello del patologico, si pone come paradigma fondamentale per lo sviluppo di stili di vita vincenti attraverso percorsi formativi innovativi. Il cambiamento di prospettiva è determinante e radicale; oggi si parte dal presupposto che la mente umana, nei suoi aspetti cognitivi ed emotivi, possieda le energie sufficienti allo sviluppo di personalità mature ed efficaci, con confini ben strutturati e un Io consapevole e forte. L’autoefficacia esprime le grandi potenzialità della mente umana di rappresentare se stessi in modo coerente, in un dinamismo continuo e positivo, in grado di rendere l’individuo resiliente, capace di autodeterminarsi rispetto alle difficoltà della vita quotidiana. La gestione dello stress si apre a nuove dimensioni, non appare più come una semplice “resistenza”alle avversità e alle difficoltà della vita, quanto una nuova modalità di gestirsi in termini proattivi, che porta ad avere una visione del mondo più positiva e ottimistica.
