Self-efficacy theory asserts that personal mastery expectations are the primary determinants of behavioral change. Further, it is suggested that individual differences in past experiences and attribution of success to skill or chance result in different levels of generalized self-efficacy expectations. To measure these generalized expectancies, a Self-efficacy Scale was developed. A factor analysis yielded 2 subscales: a general self-efficacy subscale (17 items) and a social self-efficacy subscale (6 items). Confirmation of several predicted conceptual relationships between the self-efficacy subscales and other personality measures (i.e., locus of control, personal control, social desirability, ego strength, interpersonal competence and self-esteem) provided evidence of construct validity. Positive relationships between the Self-efficacy Scale and vocational, educational and military success established criterion validity. Future research and clinical uses of the scale were discussed.
