自我效能感代表了一种对个人能力的乐观感觉，这似乎是一种普遍存在的现象，可以解释人类的动机和成就。一般自我效能量表的开发，以衡量这一结构在最广泛的水平已被改编为许多语言。该工具的心理测量学特性的研究来自25个国家的19120名参与者。主要的研究问题是，该措施是否是跨文化的配置等效，也就是说，它是否对应于只有一个维度。研究结果证实了这一假设，并提出了全球性的基本结构。他们还指出了一些跨文化差异，值得进一步调查。
Perceived self-efficacy represents an optimistic sense of personal competence that seems to be a pervasive phenomenon accounting for motivation and accomplishments in human beings. The General Self-Efficacy scale developed to measure this construct at the broadest level has been adapted to many languages. The psychometric properties of this instrument is examined among 19120 participants from 25 countries. The main research question is whether the measure is configurally equivalent across cultures, that is, whether it corresponds to only one dimension. The findings confirm this assumption and suggest the globality of the underlying construct. They also point to a number of cross-cultural differences that merit further investigation.
