• Beyond conscientiousness: Career optimism and satisfaction with academic major (2013, background): “Self-efficacy positively contributes to a sense of satisfaction with academic major (Lent et al., 2005; Lent et al., 2007; Singley, Lent, & Sheu, 2010).”
• An Analysis of Motivation Constructs with First‐Year Engineering Students: Relationships Among Expectancies, Values, Achievement, and Career Plans (2010, methodology): “…Engineering self-efficacy was measured using four items from the Self-efficacy for Academic Milestones scale developed and used by Lent and his colleagues to measure the engineering self-efficacy of undergraduate engineering students (Lent, Brown, and Larkin, 1986; Lent et al., 2007, 2008).”
• A Cross-Sectional Study of Engineering Students’ Self-Efficacy by Gender, Ethnicity, Year, and Transfer Status (2009, background): “Coping self-efficacy also significantly predicts persistence in engineering majors ( Lent et al. 2007, 2000 ).”
• Authentic assessment in business education: its effects on student satisfaction and promoting behaviour (2018, background): “Lent et al. (2007) found that academic satisfaction was influenced by: how students felt they were progressing towards completing their degree (goal progress), development of skills needed in their chosen field (selfefficacy), and ability to access adequate support for their educational goals.”
• Calling and Life Satisfaction Among Undergraduate Students: Investigating Mediators and Moderators (2012, methodology): “A 7-item measure of academic satisfaction was administered to assess satisfaction with one’s current major and academic life (Lent et al. 2007).”
