To examine the longitudinal relationship between self-efficacy and performance across repeated trials and evaluate whether task feedback and experience trigger efficacy-performance spirals.
Experimental study involving 148 student participants performing a manufacturing task across four consecutive trials.
Evaluated the moderating roles of task feedback and cumulative task experience on efficacy-performance dynamics over time.
Demonstrated a statistically significant association between self-efficacy and performance across the repeated trials.
Identified trial-to-trial self-corrections rather than continuous, monotonic deviation-amplifying spirals in belief and performance.
Showed that task feedback and task experience systematically influenced the frequency and emergence of self-correcting changes over time.
