“…Consistent with prior studies, single-factor structures emerge across our full sample. Overall, our data yield generally higher mean ASE and SSE scores than those reported by in prior studies (Suldo & Shaffer, 2007;Zullig et al, 2011). Like Zullig et al's study, we find higher SSE scores for females as compared to males and for White youth as compared to other ethnic groups.…”

“…Social forms of self-efficacy predict adolescents' ability to face social challenges. Zullig, Teoli, and Valois (2011) found significant mean differences, with modest effect sizes, in SSE between youth who reported fighting, avoiding school, and being victimized. They also found that White students had significantly higher SSE than African American and Asian students, with small effect sizes.…”

This study examines the psychometric strength, including cross-ethnic validity, of two subscales of Muris' Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children: Academic Self-Efficacy (ASE) and Social Self-Efficacy (SSE). Methods: A large ethnically diverse sample of 3,358 early and late adolescents completed surveys including the ASE and SSE. Analyses focused on the subscales' psychometric properties for the aggregate sample as well as for specific racial/ethnic subgroups. Results: For the ASE, Cronbach's a for the aggregate sample is .85, ranging from .84 to .86 across racial/ethnic subgroups. For the SSE, the aggregate Cronbach's a is .81, ranging from .77 to .86 across these subgroups. Conclusions: While aggregate findings indicate psychometric strength, analyses of cross-ethnic validity find some factor structure and item loading differences across racial/ethnic subgroups, indicating the need to ensure accurate measurement of self-efficacy across diverse youth samples.

“…The survey examined social psychological variables including social self-efficacy, collective self-esteem, and need to belong. Previous research Social Media & Collective Action 12 guided the measurement of these concepts (e.g., Baker, 2009;Gangadharbatla, 2008;Harwood, 1999;Hlebec, Manfreda and Vehovar, 2006;Ledbetter, et al, 2011;Pelling and White, 2009;Valkenburg and Peter, 2008;Zullig, Teoli and Valois, 2011). Prior questions were adapted to make them more relevant to this study.…”

This research examined how social self-efficacy, collective self-esteem, and need to belong can be used to predict teens' use of social media. The particular focus was on how these social psychological variables together with social media use account for variation in teens' participation in a flash mob-an exemplar of 21 st-century collective action. Empirical data come from a survey of teens in a major Midwestern city in the USA. Teens' need to belong was positively associated with the amount of time they reported spending on social networking sites even when controlling for gender, race, and household socioeconomic status. Both teens' social self-efficacy and time spent on YouTube were positively associated with their intention to participate in a flash mob in the future. These and other findings are discussed in the context of the role of social media in youth culture and collective action.

Researchers examined the association between perceptions of harm from substance use and social self-efficacy (SSE) in a sample of early adolescents in public middle schools ( n = 4,122). One-way analysis of covariance and post hoc tests were used to assess the relationships between perceptions of harm from tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine use and SSE while controlling for the effects of grade, sex, race, and socioeconomic status. Effect sizes were calculated from the post hoc comparisons to estimate practical importance. Results suggest that lower perceptions of harm from each examined substance were significantly associated with lower SSE ( p < .0001). Effect sizes were of medium practical importance. Enhancing SSE in early adolescents may be an effective component of interventions designed to reduce perceptions of harm associated and subsequent substance use.
