Academic and Social Self-Efficacy Scale: Development and Initial Validation

Abstract

The Academic and Social Self-Efficacy Scale (ASSESS) was developed to assess the self-efficacy judgments of students and to predict academic achievement and sociometric status. Self-reported judgments of academic self-efficacy best predicted academic achievement, whereas self-reported social self-efficacy best predicted sociometric status. Teacher- and parent-reported self-efficacy ratings were minimal predictors of achievement and sociometric status. A multitrait-multimethod (MTMM) analysis failed to provide evidence for convergent and discriminant validity. These results were interpreted in light of the situational specificity of behavior and cross-informant variability in behavior ratings.

Self-Efficacy and Drinking with Friends: An Investigation into the Drinking Behaviors of Japanese College Students

“…Further, in a sample of high school students, Bandura (1997) found a positive relationship between social self-efficacy and emotional well-being. Similarly, Gresham, Evans, and Elliott (1988) found social selfefficacy predicted sociometric status in 3 rd -5 th graders. Finally, Vieno, Santinello, Pastore, and Perkins (2007) found that social self-efficacy predicted high life satisfaction at a five-year follow-up for a sample of junior high school students.…”
