1. Verbal persuasion involves support from friends and family encouraging the individual and telling them that they can achieve their goals. This can boost the individual's confidence and belief in their abilities.
2. For example, if a friend tells you, "I believe in you, you can do it," this verbal persuasion can positively impact your self-belief and self-efficacy.
