Kindly share with me a tool to measure self-efficacy. It should be short and simple if possible
Dear Manu Manu, In my opinion, you should first share the research area in which you are interested to use self-efficacy measures.
According to Taylor & Todd (1995), which i used in my study, the self-efficacy measures are:
I would feel comfortable using this.............on my own.
I would be able to use this..........reasonably well on my own.
I would be able to use this............even if there was no one around to help me.
Hello Manu
Below a 10 item scale that you can use for General Self-Efficacy Scale after you take a permission from the author.

you can also modify the scale items to measure Self-Efficacy in a specific social or personal domains (e.g: I can always manage to solve difficult problems if I try hard enough = I can always manage to solve difficult problems (in school/with other teachers/in my family) if I try hard enough.
good day
Self efficacy is task or domain specific (not a trait) so you have to make your own scale following Bandura's guidelines--see his website.
You can use the one of Pearlin and Schooler (1978),
Pearlin, L. I., & Schooler, C. (1978). The structure of coping. Journal of Health and Social Behavior, 19(1), 2-21.
Hi Manu,
I have also used the Taylor and Todd (1995) self-efficacy scale that Adil mentioned. It works well for technological contexts, which is what it was used for in the original study.
