Abstract: The goal of this study is to establish a test to measure Self-efficacy. One hundred and forty-nine college students participated in the study. Subjects were asked to rate if each item of an author-designed Self-efficacy Inventory (SEI) could be used to describe themselves on a 6-point scale with "1" representing "extremely not appropriate" and "6" representing "extremely appropriate". Rotter Internal-external Control Scale, Self-discrepancy, Chinese SCL90 Depression Sub-scale, and Sherer's Self-efficacy Scale were tested as well. The same subjects were tested with SEI again two weeks later. The results shown that 19 items were chosen to compose the final SEI test, of which the mean score of the sample was 63.09 while standard deviation was 12.645. There was no significant sex difference (t=0.14, P=0.88). Factor Analysis revealed one factor which explained 32.4% of the total variance. The test met the basic reliability requirements with Cronbach a=0.878 and r=0.817 for test-retest reliability, and was significantly and negatively correlated with Rotter Internal-external Control Scale (r=-0.511, P<0.001), actual-ideal self-discrepancy (r=-0.420, P<0.001), actual-ought self-discrepancy (r=-0.450, P<0.001), and depression (r=-0.398, P<0.001). This test was also significantly correlated to Sherer's Self-efficacy Scale with r=0.6140 (P<0.0001) to its general efficacy and r=0.5379 (P<0.0001) to its social efficacy.
