Gillian's Club Is Planning a 5-Mile Race as a Fundraiser

Gillian's club is planning a 5-mile race as a fundraiser. Because Gillian had never run in a race before, she was certain that she would not be able to complete the 5 miles and instead volunteered to screen and register the runners. How might the social cognitive theory be used to explain Gillian's behavior?

A) Gillian is low on the trait theory factor called persistence.
B) The absence of unconditional positive regard in Gillian's childhood has left her full of self-doubt and anxiety.
C) Gillian has a strong sense of self-efficacy when it comes to talking to people and writing down information, but she has a weak sense of self-efficacy when it comes to running in a race.
D) Gillian suffers from unresolved, unconscious conflicts regarding her femininity and repressed competitive urges.
