“…The importance of the ISE has also been discussed in connection with its related behavioral outcomes, since Internet self-efficacy seems linked to a variety of Internet related variables and others domain-specific self-efficacy. In this sense, literature reports that ISE has relations with behavioral outcomes such as frequency and experience of Internet use [19][20][21], performance [22,23], attitude toward the Internet [21,24], Internet anxiety [25,26], and online behaviors like online shopping [21], cyberbullying and cyber victimization [20,27], and antiphishing behavior [18]. Moreover, Internet self-efficacy scores are related to others domainspecific self-efficacy like general self-efficacy [20], computer self-efficacy, academic self-efficacy [24], specific web selfefficacy [28], and antiphishing self-efficacy [18].…”

Online activities are a fundamental part of daily life in this digital era and Internet self-efficacy (ISE) became a central construct for the psychologists of virtual environments. The Internet Self-Efficacy Scale developed by Kim and Glassman (2013) is a recent, valid, and reliable 17-item test to assess the ISE. The aim of this research, composed by two studies, was to translate and validate the Italian version of the ISS. In study 1, we evaluated the factorial validity and internal consistency of the Italian version of the ISS on 3724 individuals. In study 2, we tested the ISS external validity relying on the Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS) and the Internet Addiction Scale (IAS) based on the answers of 244 participants. The findings supported the reliability and validity of the translated ISS and its use for assessing ISE on the Italian population. Implications for researchers and interventions are also discussed.

“…The findings of the current study also have implications for future research on the BITS and BITS-SF. For example, researchers should examine potential within-country differences, such as across Mainland Chinese provinces (Rodon & Chevalier, 2017) and racial and ethnic groups living in both countries. Additionally, studies examining the BITS and BITS-SF in samples using traditional data collection methods (e.g., paper-and-pencil) would allow for a stronger estimation of the people who have CSE for different computer skill levels.…”

“…We used two measures to assess CSE. The first was the simplified Chinese version of the Information Retrieval on the Web Self-Efficacy Scale (Ch-IROWSE; Rodon & Chevalier, 2017). Originally written in French (Rodon & Meyer, 2018), the Ch-IROWSE consists of eight items assessing confidence finding information on the Internet.…”

“…Respondents use a four-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (否/ False ) to 4 (是/ True ). A sample item is, “上网查询时, 如遇到困难, 我相信能找到新的方法继续在网上查找”/“If I come across any difficulty finding information on Internet, I am sure I would be able to carry out a new research strategy” (Rodon & Chevalier, 2017, p. 4). Items were averaged, with higher scores indicating higher self-efficacy.…”

“…Items were averaged, with higher scores indicating higher self-efficacy. The Ch-IROWSE has shown evidence of a single-factor structure, and the total score has shown evidence of convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity (Rodon & Chevalier, 2017). Cronbach’s alpha for the current study was .94.…”

Computer self-efficacy (CSE) continues to be an important construct in research and application. Two measures of CSE, the Brief Inventory of Technology Self-Efficacy (BITS) and the Brief Inventory of Technology Self-Efficacy – Short Form (BITS-SF) were recently developed to correct for issues in other available measures. The BITS and BITS-SF were originally written in English, and their psychometric properties assessed in samples from the United States. The current two studies translated the BITS and BITS-SF into simplified Chinese (Mainland China) and traditional Chinese (Taiwan) and assessed their psychometric properties. In Study 1, 207 adults in Mainland China completed the simplified Chinese BITS and BITS-SF, as well as measures given to assess convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity. In Study 2, 273 adults in Taiwan did the same, except that they completed the traditional Chinese BITS and BITS-SF. In both studies, the translated BITS showed evidence of a three-factor correlated structure, and the translated BITS-SF yielded several underlying classes consistent with theory and scoring interpretation. Additionally, the translated measures’ scores showed solid evidence of convergent, discriminant, and concurrent validity. The results replicate the findings using the original BITS and BITS-SF and extend them to simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese translated versions. These versions are recommended for use in research and applied settings to assess CSE and are available for use. Both the original and translated measures are available for download at www.bitssurvey.com .
