The empirical correlation of self-efficacy statements and treatment outcome reported by Bandura (1977) is acknowledged. The question at issue is whether this correlation is due to an integrative construct called self or social contingencies. Bandura (1982) demonstrated that the correlation exists in the absence of contemporary social contingencies for such a correlation (cf. Tryon, 1981). The present rejoinder argues that the correlation between self-efficacy statements and subsequent behavior could be due to social contingencies existing prior to the experiment. Supportive data from a series of vicarious verbal conditioning experiments are presented.
班杜拉（1977年）报告的自我效能陈述与治疗结果之间的实证相关性得到了认可。争议的问题在于这种相关性是由于一种名为自我或社会偶然性的综合结构。班杜拉（1982年）证明，在不存在这种相关性的当代社会偶然性的情况下，这种相关性仍然存在（参见特里昂，1981年）。本回应认为，自我效能陈述与后续行为之间的相关性可能是由于实验之前存在的社会偶然性。文中呈现了一系列替代性言语条件作用实验的支持性数据。
