Validation of the General Self-Efficacy Scale among Qatari young women
الملخص
The General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) is a measure of people’s beliefs about their capacity to cope
with life’s demands. Self-efficacy may be particularly relevant in transitional stages such as in late adolescence,
when young people make decisions that will impact their adult lives. In the present study, we aimed to validate
an Arabic version of GSES among 355 Qatari young women aged 18+ years and finishing their final year of high
school. We conducted exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses to assess the scale dimensionality. The final
model fit was adequate (root mean square error of approximation = 0.07, comparative fit index = 1.00, Tucker–
Lewis index = 0.99), confirming a unidimensional self-efficacy measure. The Qatari Standard Arabic GSES is a
reliable tool for measuring general self-efficacy among young Qatari women.
