Analysis

The analysis of the results from the Webb Efficacy Scale is carried out using statistical methods to determine an individual’s overall self-efficacy. The data can be analyzed to reveal trends and patterns related to individuals’ confidence in their skills and their ability to achieve goals. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire are usually assessed through statistical indicators such as Cronbach’s alpha coefficient.

Objective

The primary objective of the Webb Efficacy Scale is to provide a reliable and valid method for evaluating self-efficacy. This can assist researchers and professionals in the fields of psychology and education in better understanding how self-efficacy affects behavior and performance. Additionally, it can be used to assess the impact of various interventions and programs aimed at increasing self-efficacy.

Calibration

The calibration of the Webb Efficacy Scale is based on participants’ responses to each statement. Responses are typically scored on a scale from 1 to 5 or from 1 to 7, depending on the version of the questionnaire. The scores are then summed to calculate an overall self-efficacy score for each individual. A high overall score indicates high self-efficacy, while a low overall score indicates low self-efficacy.
