GUIDE FOR CONSTRUCTING SELF-EFFICACY SCALES
SELF-EFFICACY Beliefs of Adolescents, 307 337 Copyright 2005 by Information Age PublishingAll rights of reproduction in any form FOR CONSTRUCTING SELF-EFFICACY SCALESA. BANDURAA lbert BanduraPerceived SELF-EFFICACY is concerned with people s beliefs in their capabili-ties to produce given attainments (Bandura, 1997). One cannot be allthings, which would require mastery of every realm of human life. Peoplediffer in the areas in which they cultivate their efficacy and in the levels towhich they develop it even within their given pursuits. For example, abusiness executive may have a high sense of organizational efficacy butlow parenting efficacy. Thus, the efficacy belief system is not a global traitbut a differentiated set of self-beliefs linked to distinct realms of function-ing.
If self-efficacy scales are targeted to factors that, in fact, have little or no impact on the domain of functioning, such research cannot yield a predictive relation. If, for example, relaxation does not affect drug use, then perceived self-efficacy to relax will be unrelated to consumption of drugs because the causal theory is faulty.
