• Examining the relationship between English language learners’ online self-regulation and their self-efficacy (2017, unknown): “Research shows that a 5-point Likert scale is an acceptable approach to measure self-efficacy (Maurer & Andrews, 2000; Maurer & Pierce, 1998), and it has been successfully adopted to measure self-efficacy in different research contexts (see Haddad & Taleb, 2016; Hartmann, 2012).”
• On the Functional Properties of Perceived Self-Efficacy Revisited (2012, background): “Maurer and Andrews (2000) introduced confusion into the assessment of self-efficacy.”
• Criminal Self-Efficacy (2012, background): “Although less than ideal, simple measures typically predict scores on more detailed instruments (Gibson & Dembo, 1984; Maurer & Andrews, 2000; Ross et al., 1996), and similar single-item measures of perceived success have been used successfully in studies of conventional self-efficacy (e.g.,…”
• The study, evaluation, and improvement of university student self-efficacy (2016, methodology): “Specific measurement advice has been provided by Bandura (1997, 2006), Maurer and Andrews (2000), Schraw (2010), Usher and Pajares (2008), and Zimmerman (2008).”
• The Roles of Self-Efficacy and Task Complexity in the Relationships Among Cognitive Ability, Conscientiousness, and Work-Related Performance: A Meta-Analytic Examination (2001, background): “…operationalizations of self-efficacy exist (i.e., traditional measures versus Likert measures of magnitude and strength), research by Maurer et al. (Maurer & Andrews, 2000; Maurer & Pierce, 1998) demonstrated that these different operationalizations are highly correlated and yield consistent…”
