This paper presents a formal analysis approach for self-efficacy model of interviewee's mental state during a job interview session.Self-efficacy is a construct that has been hypothesised to combine with motivation and interviewee anxiety to define state influence of interviewees.The conceptual model was built based on psychological theories and models related to self-efficacy.A number of well-known relations between events and the course of self-efficacy are summarized from the literature and it is shown that the proposed model exhibits those patterns.In addition, this formal model has been mathematically analysed to find out which stable situations exist.Finally, it is pointed out how this model can be used in a software agent or robot-based platform.Such platform can provide an interview coaching approach where support to the user is provided based on their individual metal state during interview sessions.
