Task-specific self-efficacy is the belief in one's ability to perform a specific task or behavior. According to Bandura, this belief is a key determinant of whether someone will engage in a behavior or not, as it influences the effort and persistence put into the task. The other options (self-monitoring, classical conditioning, and continuous reinforcement) are also important concepts in psychology, but they are not as central to Bandura's social learning theory as task-specific self-efficacy.
