Traditional, Likert, and Simplified Measures of Self-Efficacy

Todd J. Maurer

Georgia Institute of Technology

Three methods of measuring self-efficacy were compared: traditional, Likert, and a simplified scale. Scores on the three scales had highly similar reliability and validity and were strongly related. The Likert and simplified scales required 50% and 70% (respectively) fewer participant responses than the traditional format, whereas the traditional and Likert formats provided more specific diagnostic information.
