An investigation with the General Perceived Self-Efficacy and Perfectionism Scales was carried out on 179 students of the Faculty of Arcs in Zadar. On the basis of results obtained in previous investigations with these scales the authors tested their psychometric properties. Both scales have a satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach alpha for general Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale was .85, and for Perfectionism Scale .69). Results from the General Perceived Self- Efficacy Scales were compared with the results obtained on samples of German university students (Schwarzer, 1996). It is possible to explain the results on the sample of Croatians as well as on the sample of Germans in relation to one general factor-the factor of general self- efficacy.References
