Abstract
This chapter focuses on the self-confidence construct that belongs to a broader area of metacognition. Metacognition refers to 'knowing about knowing' (Metcalfe and Shimamura 1994). An aspect of the second 'knowing' refers to one's understanding of different task-related factors, such as the state of one's knowledge and abilities. The first 'knowing' represents the awareness of this understanding.
