چکیده (انگلیسی):

The present study analyses the psychometric properties of the Self-efficacy in Academic Behaviors Scale in men and women university students. The overall sample consisted of 2006 subjects: 902 women and 1104 men, with a mean age of 18.53 years (SD= 1.52) and 18.84 years (SD= 1.55) respectively. Psychometric analysis showed that a three-factorial structure (Communication, Attention and Excellence) was viable and adequate for both populations (men and woman) according to the established psychometric requirements when the informers are the students themselves. In addition, the factor structure, factorial loads and intercepts are considered invariant in the two populations; however, there are differences between groups in favor of women for the means of the three factors.
