Abstract

This study aimed to translate into Arabic, culturally adapt, and assess the psychometric properties of the Self-efficacy for Self-regulated Learning Scale (SESRLS). The Arabic SESRLS was administered to a sample of 1,700 Saudi undergraduate students using an online survey. Evidence of construct validity and internal consistency reliability was compiled through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and Cronbach’s α coefficient. Multigroup CFA (MGCFA) was also conducted to test gender-related measurement invariance. A one-factor structure of the SESRLS was confirmed via CFA, with items demonstrating good internal consistency reliability (α = .89). MGCFA revealed that the SESRLS achieved full measurement invariance across gender. Overall, the Arabic SESRLS displayed good psychometric properties in the Saudi undergraduate student population and was gender unbiased.
