Self-Efficacy and Emotional Regulation. Self-efficacy, the belief in one's ability to succeed in specific situations or accomplish a task, plays a crucial role in emotional regulation. Recent research has highlighted the mediating role of self-efficacy in the relationship between physical exercise and emotional regulation.
For both men and women, increased self-efficacy was the most important predictor in signifying positive changes to exercise behavior and physical activity. SCT can be applied to public health campaigns in an attempt to foster a more healthy public through exercise; as it relates, multiple studies find self-efficacy as the most important ...
Rosenstock et al. argued that self-efficacy could be added to the other HBM constructs without elaboration of the model's theoretical structure. [17] However, this was considered short-sighted because related studies indicated that key HBM constructs have indirect effects on behavior as a result of their effect on perceived control and ...
Self-concept is made up of one's self-schemas, and interacts with self-esteem, self-knowledge, and the social self to form the self as a whole. It includes the past, present, and future selves, where future selves (or possible selves) represent individuals' ideas of what they might become, what they would like to become, or what they are afraid ...

Self-efficacy plays an important role in one's health because when people feel that they have self-efficacy over their health conditions, the effects of their health becomes less of a stressor. Smith (1989) has argued that locus of control only weakly measures self-efficacy; "only a subset of items refer directly to the subject's capabilities ...
