Analysis

The Self-Efficacy Scale – Teen Conflict Questionnaire was designed to assess adolescents’ beliefs in their ability to manage and resolve conflicts. In this context, self-efficacy refers to adolescents’ belief that they can effectively use their skills to resolve conflicts with others—whether family members, friends, or classmates.

Objective

The main objective of the scale is to measure adolescents’ self-efficacy in relation to their ability to manage and resolve interpersonal conflicts.

Scoring

The scale includes statements rated by participants using a Likert scale. These statements cover various aspects of conflict-management self-efficacy, such as emotional regulation, communication, recognition of needs, compromise, and problem-solving.
