The Italian Version of the New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSES): Structural Validity, Psychometric Properties, and Measurement Invariance.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: General Self-Efficacy (GSE) refers to an individual's belief in their overall ability to perform effectively across various situations. Research shows that GSE is a key predictor of multiple outcomes, including psychological resilience, better health, and improved overall well-being across different populations and environments. Numerous tools have been developed to measure GSE, enhancing our understanding of self-efficacy and its broader implications. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the New General Self-Efficacy Scale (NGSES) in a community sample of adults recruited through social media platforms. Methods: The NGSES was adapted into Italian following the back-translation procedure. A total of 811 part
