“…Evaluating language and intercultural competence requires a belief in one's capability to perform effective communication. Peterson et al (2011) recognized that one of the most appropriate and available areas of focus for communicative competence that binds the relevant disciplines and research programs was through examinations of self-efficacy, a core construct that weaves between cross-cultural research in educational settings. Situated along the framework for the social cognitive theory of learning provided by Albert Bandura in the 1970s, self-efficacy encompasses a wide array of psychosocial components that incrementally contribute to levels of attainment toward goals.…”

“…SEIC could be a target outcome for classroom contexts but also professional settings. The original sample population from Peterson et al (2011) was composed of alumni participants of the JET Program. Thus, the SEIC study explored by Peterson et al (2011) harnesses a strength in application in the form of its original focus on overseas professionals in educational settings.…”

“…However, the original scale development attempt used a relatively modest sample size (N = 213) of former sojourning teachers and ended with preliminary checks for internal validity, likely contributing to some hesitancy to select or adopt the instrument in related assessment research (Goldstein, 2015). This report offers numerous positions in favor of the approach and instrument taken by Peterson et al (2011) with further theoretical support due to the usefulness of an SEIC construct in applied settings and addresses questions of validity to evaluate its potential as a tool for evaluators and educators.…”

Self-Efficacy in Intercultural Communication scale with intercultural effectiveness competencies and speaking and listening selfefficacy constructs used in classroom contexts. Together, this study offers a tool of valid indicators for researchers and practitioners who aim to observe self-efficacy in positive education, intercultural training, or international programs that intersect with language learning and intercultural communication.

“…However, do lectures really know their students capacity to score in the course that they teach? Previously, an attempt had been made to identify factors that are important to the success of students by studying the relationship between numerous psychological and academic variables [1], [2], [3]. It is confirmed that significant factors on academic performance are intellectual capability and motivation [4].…”

Self- Efficacy Assessment to Predict GPA Grade Scores of Students

This pilot study was to investigate self-efficacy of students' scores to predict GPA grade passing and failing performance before sitting for exams. The data was collected from 60 students (39 males, 21 females) from Sports Science degree undergraduates. Self-efficacy scale was developed to particularly measure GPA grades scores and to predict passing and failing scores performance of the students. The independent t-test indicated that no significant differences were seen in self-efficacy between males and females students. Pearson correlation showed a significant relationship where passing scores were higher than the failing scores. It was recommended that sports counseling students are interested in all subjects whether it involves physical or theoretical based course program. The same issues may be addressed in future research, but with improved measures such as a comparison between core and elective course programs.

“…Yet, previous studies on cultural adaptation have assessed behavior- and situation specific self-efficacy, for example, communication self-efficacy (Peterson, Milstein, Chen, & Nakazawa, 2011) and cultural self-efficacy (Rania, Cardinali, Cifatte, & Migliorini, 2012). While behavior- and situation-specific self-efficacy is a behavioral facilitator, generalized self-efficacy serves as a coping resource in the face of challenges (Mikkelsen & Einarsen, 2002), which may facilitate adaptation to a new cultural environment (Harrison, Chadwick, & Scales, 1996).…”

This study aims to identify person-level factors, rather than economic situations, that influence migration decision-making and actual migration. Building on the theory of planned behavior, this study investigated potential migrants’ expectations and attitudes toward migration and career (i.e., anticipated job benefits of migration, career aspiration) as well as beliefs (i.e., generalized self-efficacy) as predictors of migration decision-making conceptualized in three phases: the pre-decisional, pre-actional, and actional phases. This was examined with cross-sectional pre-migration questionnaire data from 1163 potential migrants from Spain to Germany. We also examined whether the migration decision-making phases predicted actual migration with a subsample (n=249) which provided follow-up data within twelve months. For the cross-sectional sample, multinomial logistic regressions revealed that anticipated job benefits and career aspiration are predictive for all migration phases. Self-efficacy predicts the preactional (e.g., gathering information) and actional phases (e.g., making practical arrangements). Finally, for those with low self-efficacy, anticipated job benefits play a stronger role for taking action. For the longitudinal subsample, a logistic regression revealed that being in the preactional and actional phases at baseline is predictive of actual migration within twelve months. This study expands previous research on migration intentions and behaviors by focusing on expectations, values, and beliefs as person-level predictors for migration decision-making. With a longitudinal sample, it shows that international migration is a process that involves multiple phases.
