Abstract

The Short Form of the Task-Specific Occupational Self-Efficacy Scale (TSOSS; Osipow, Temple, & Rooney, 1993) and a measure of self-efficacy with respect to 20 occupational titles (Occupational Self-Efficacy Scale [OSES; Betz & Hackett, 1981]) were administered to 111 male and 159 female college students. Results indicated significant gender and order of administration effects for both task-specific and occupational self-efficacy, with higher scores found among males and when the OSES, versus the TSOSS, was administered first. Relationships between task-specific and occupational self-efficacy were moderate in size, and TSOSS factor score intercorrelations were significantly stronger in females than males.
