Self-efficacy—the confidence that you can complete a task—and motivation are linked in unique ways. Your self-efficacy can be influenced by how small or large a task is, while the same can be said about your motivation to complete your goals. This presentation will help students understand the science behind managing motivation and improving self-efficacy. Attendees will also be given the opportunity to understand what motivates them about being a student researcher, what their goals are, and how to create SMART goals.
