Previous findings indicate that self-efficacy is related to academic performance. However, no existing tools register students’ perception of efficacy towards writing and defining academic texts. Our purpose was to develop and validate such a scale. Scale scores content, structural, convergent, and criterion-related validity as well as the measurement invariance across sex was evaluated using data from 418 students from 23 Spanish universities. Our findings showed that the scale holds a unidimensional structure that is invariant across sex. Data also supported the convergent validity, with correlations with self-efficacy and anxiety measures. The scale could track the effect of an educational intervention designed to improve students’ writing and defending academic texts skills, and the scores were related to performance on a writing task. Norms are provided to facilitate the interpretation of the scale scores. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/PIIDUZ-17-047 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/PIIDUZ-18-097 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/PIIDUZ-18-123 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/PIIDUZ-19-052 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 1.7 2023 EDUCATION & EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH 258 / 760 = 0.339 2023 Q2 T2 PSYCHOLOGY, MULTIDISCIPLINARY 101 / 219 = 0.461 2023 Q2 T2 PSYCHOLOGY, EDUCATIONAL 46 / 74 = 0.622 2023 Q3 T2 0.556 2023 Social Psychology 2023 Q2 Developmental and Educational Psychology 2023 Q3 3.5 2023 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Fidalgo, Camino Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-4732-6417 Rodríguez-Rey, Rocío Sorrel, Miguel A. 4009 740 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
