Two studies were conducted to examine validity evidence for the College Self-Efficacy Inventory, by investigating dimensionality and theoretically based relationships with external criteria. Modifications to the scale yielded an adequately fitting three-factor model, and most hypothesized relationships were empirically supported. However, continued refinement of the instrument is recommended owing to construct underrepresentation.

Key Words: self-efficacy • validity • confirmatory factor analysis
