书面和口头科学交流形式的能力对于学术科学的成功至关重要。这项研究基于社会认知职业理论，研究了三种新测量方法的心理测量特性，这些测量方法与科学传播技能和毅力的评估相关。生物医学博士前和博士后学员 (N = 411) 完成了在线调查问卷，评估科学交流中的自我效能、职业成果预期以及对执行科学写作、口头报告和即兴科学演讲任务的兴趣。结构方程模型用于评估因素结构和模型关系。验证性因素分析支持自我效能感的 22 项 3 因素测量、结果预期的 11 项 2 因素测量以及对科学传播活动的兴趣的 12 项 3 因素测量。理论一致的因素间关系以及与典型传播绩效行为（例如撰写手稿、摘要、在全国会议上发言）的关系进一步证明了结构效度。
Competency in forms of scientific communication, both written and spoken, is essential for success in academic science. This study examined the psychometric properties of three new measures, based on social cognitive career theory, that are relevant to assessment of skill and perseverance in scientific communication. Pre- and postdoctoral trainees in biomedical science (N = 411) completed online questionnaires assessing self-efficacy in scientific communication, career outcome expectations, and interest in performing tasks in scientific writing, oral presentation, and impromptu scientific discourse. Structural equation modeling was used to evaluate factor structures and model relations. Confirmatory factor analysis supported a 22-item, 3-factor measure of self-efficacy, an 11-item, 2-factor measure of outcome expectations, and a 12-item, 3-factor measure of interest in scientific communication activities. Construct validity was further demonstrated by theory-consistent inter-factor relations and relations with typical communications performance behaviors (e.g., writing manuscripts, abstracts, presenting at national meetings).
