Abstract
Three studies examine if perceived self-efficacy can have unconscious origins and be primed to facilitate goal-directed behavior, and how primed self-efficacy operates in conjunction with perceived self-efficacy. Results suggest that primed self-efficacy influences goal-directed behavior, and that this effect operates without the assistance of perceived self-efficacy.
