一般自我效能感与能够科普各种压力的乐观信念有关。它是用一个十项量表来衡量的，这个量表在跨文化研究中被证明是有用的。以前的研究结果表明，这个结构是普遍的，它适用于世界上大多数文化。目前的调查增加了一个新的方面，它：可以衡量自我效能感的一部分，而上网的交互式计算机会话？共有1 437名计算机用户对网上的一项调查作出了答复，其中一半是26岁以下的青年男女。这些数据与290名加拿大大学生进行了比较。德国的274名教师，以及德国的3,077名高中生。结果表明，所有的心理测量特征都令人满意。出现了一些有效性的证据。有人建议，创新的数据收集方法时，应考虑开发一个心理量表。
General perceived self-efficacy pertains to optimistic beliefs about being able to cope with a large variety of stressors. It is measured with a ten-item scale that has proven useful in cross-cultural research. Previous findings suggest that the construct is universal and that it applies to the majority of cultures worldwide. The present investigation adds a new facet to it: can perceived self-efficacy be measured as part of an interactive computer session while surfing the Internet? A total of 1,437 computer users responded to a survey on the web, half of them young men and women below the age of 26. These data were compared to 290 Canadian university students. 274 teachers in Germany, and 3,077 high school students in Germany. It turned out that all psychometric characteristics were satisfactory. Some evidence for validity emerged. It is suggested that innovative methods of data collection be considered when developing a psychometric scale.
