Purpose: The study presents the results of the adaptation of an academic self-efficacy scale. Specifically, the purpose of the study was to analyse the internal structure of the translation and adaptation of the ASES scale by Chemers, Hu y García (2001). Method: 4950 Chilean university students participated. Additionally, to study the Equivalence/Invariance of Measurement between different groups of students, we have performed a factorial invariance analysis. Results: The results indicate that the scale has adequate psychometric properties; they also show the existence of a two-factor structure consistent from the substantive point of view and with an adequate statistical adjustment. Factorial invariance analysis shows the existence of metric invariance between the compared groups. Conclussions: The evidence shows the validity of the scores and their equivalence among groups of students.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
