Social cognitive theory posits that human functioning results from reciprocal interactions among personal factors, such as cognitions, emotions, behaviors, and environmental conditions. It contends that learners set goals that they feel self-efficacious about attaining and believe that when attained will result in positive outcomes.

Outcome expectations are beliefs about the likely consequences of actions (Bandura, 1986).Efficacy expectations, or self-efficacy, refer to personal beliefs about an individual's capabilities to learn or perform actions at designated levels (Bandura, 1997).

Sexuality is essential to the way one conceives oneself. It may depend on one's experiences and considerations that often fluctuate throughout his or her lifespan. It gets impacted by different biopsychosocial, economic, cultural, religious, and spiritual factors. The textbook states that with the passing time, the emotional, intellectual, and physical aspects of sexual desire and expression become fairly stable in both genders.

Unfortunately, our healthcare providers are also not exempted from these stereotypical attitudes.
