Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale – Chinese Version

Description

The Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale (ESES) developed by Bandura is used to measure individuals’ confidence in participating in regular physical activity under various circumstances. The scale consists of 18 items and is scored on a 100-point Likert scale, with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy.

Purpose

To evaluate the level of self-efficacy in physical activity among high-risk populations for stroke.

Test Year

The scale has been used in multiple studies, with references dating as far back as 2017.

Administration Method and Scoring

Participants rate their confidence in engaging in regular exercise based on various scenarios using a score from 0 to 100, where 0 represents “no confidence at all” and 100 indicates “very confident.” The average score from the 18 items is calculated to determine the overall self-efficacy level.

Reliability and Validity

The scale has shown good reliability and validity in various contexts:
– Shin et al. reported a Cronbach’s α of 0.94 and a test-retest reliability coefficient of 0.77 after two weeks for chronic disease patients in South Korea.
– Tung et al. translated the scale into Chinese, resulting in a Cronbach’s α of 0.96.
– Pei Li et al. demonstrated a Cronbach’s α of 0.962, indicating strong reliability, and confirmed good structural validity.

Factors and Subscales

The scale does not have explicitly defined subscales but includes items that address various situations impacting physical activity self-efficacy.
