Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a writing efficacy scale by introducing the concept of efficacy to writing. By applying Bandura's domain general construction concept of self-efficacy, we developed 33 items, which are 6 factors of domain-specific writing efficacy. As a result of examining the content validity (CVR>.33) of 29 writing experts, we derived 26 questions. As a result of performing an exploratory factor analysis on 1099 students currently enrolled at S University, 23 items were finally derived with 5 factors: success performance, vicarious experience, social persuasion, anxiety, and interest. For the derived items, convergent validity and discriminant validity (did you mean to repeat this?) were verified for 2,482 current students using confirmatory factor analysis. Finally, we discussed the academic and practical significance of this study based on the research results.
