Abstract
- Research self-efficacy is important to measure among faculty, given its relationship with scholarly productivity. However, very few measures exist to assess research self-efficacy among faculty, and few of those have evidence of validity. Thus, the Faculty Research Self-Efficacy Scale (FaRSES) was developed, with initial validation occurring among a nationwide sample of social and behavioral science faculty. A second order factor model emerged, where dimensions on the first factor included both (a) General Research Process and Quantitative Research and (b) Qualitative Research. Both first order factors loaded on one general second order factor. Scores on the first and second order FaRSES had strong evidence of reliability and validity. Suggestions for future research are provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
