| Popis: | This study presents abundant empirical evidence to sustain that the genius of Santiago Ramon y Cajal was the result of a conscious effort of self-construction, the key factors of which were psychosocial, some of which are also found in other highly creative scientists. In this case, new factors appear that have not been observed in other geniuses, such as a substantial vicarious and self-regulating capacity and a high degree of perceived self-efficacy. The procedure used is the narrative analysis of essentially autobiographic texts. The theoretical framework on which the study is based is the psychology of science and Bandura cognitive-social theory. |
