摘要
Self-efficacy beliefs play an important role in regulating a child's functioning and emotional well-being. The aims of our study were to construct the Polish Self-Efficacy Scale for Children (SESC) in early school age and to explore its factor structure and construct validity. A total of 402 children in the age range of 8 to 10 years took part in the study. An exploratory factor analysis of the SESC revealed four factors. The internal reliability of each scale score ranged from good to very good. Results show that self-efficacy beliefs for academic achievement, self-control and regulation of negative emotion are negatively correlated with inattention, hyperactivity-impulsivity, low emotional control and trait anxiety. It is concluded that the SESC is a promising measure for research concerning child development and psychopathology.
