Habits
Behavior-Specific Efficacy Belief
Behavior-specific efficacy belief rates confidence per action—not global mood—so each habit gets the right cue and ladder.
Behavior-specific efficacy belief means confidence is tracked per action—"I can log dinner" separate from "I can run 5K"—because global self-esteem misleads planning. High meal efficacy with low run efficacy suggests different cues and ladders, not one motivational speech.

Common questions
-
Why not use one overall confidence score?
Global scores hide which behavior needs support—you might abandon all habits when only one domain lacks efficacy.
