Abstract

Self-efficacy theory is one of the most influential and persuasive motivational theories. Psychology researchers are glad about studying this theory, and social self-efficacy is a concept in Bandera's self-efficacy theory. Until now, there does not have a unified definition standard for the concept of body image. The explanation of body image in Zhang's Dictionary of Psychology is that the body image refers to "A subjective, comprehensive, and evaluative concept of one's own physical characteristics."[1]. Improving the college students' physical image and social self-efficacy are very important to their physical and mental health development. It will be also a good promotion for college students' untiring exercise and lifelong sports development.
