According to Albert Bandura, if a person gains confidence through positive experience, it is referred to as ___.

A) emotional arousal
B) vicarious modelling
C) social persuasion
D) verbal persuasion
E) enactive mastery

Enactive mastery refers to gaining confidence through positive experience or mastery of a task. Bandura believed that this was one of the most effective ways to increase self-efficacy and confidence in one's abilities. Emotional arousal refers to the emotional response to a situation, while vicarious modelling involves learning through observing others. Social persuasion and verbal persuasion both involve gaining confidence through feedback and encouragement from others.
