Abstract

This study investigated the use of the English translation of a paper-and-pencil self-confidence scale developed in French by Garant, Charest, Alain, and Thomassin in 1995. The translated self-confidence scale measured self-confidence, or the belief that one will succeed at whatever one undertakes, as distinct from self-esteem or the feeling that one is a worthwhile person. Unlike a number of previous studies, there was no sex difference in self-confidence favoring men however, scores on the masculinity portion of Bern's Sex-role Inventory (1974) were highly correlated with self-confidence for both men (r = .59) and women (r = .69).
