perceived competence

Perceived competence refers to an individual's belief or perception about their own abilities, skills, knowledge, or expertise in a specific domain or task. It is subjective and may not always align with actual competence. Perceived competence can influence motivation, confidence, and performance, as individuals are more likely to engage in activities where they feel competent. It can be influenced by self-evaluation, feedback from others, past experiences, and social comparisons.
