Abstract: The SWSE is a 52 item scale created following Bandura’s guidelines for the creation of self-efficacy scales (Bandura, 1997b). The SWSE takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. The SWSE’s readability estimate is Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level: 9.9. There is preliminary evidence regarding the reliability, validity and sensitivity to change of the data collected via the SWSE.
