Confirmatory Factor Analysis of a Scale Measuring Creative Self-efficacy of Undergraduate Students

This study aimed to explore and validate the factor structure of creative self-efficacy scale. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess the factor structure of the five-factor creative self-efficacy. A total of 105 undergraduate students (34 male and 71female) completed this 25-items creative self-efficacy scale. The results showed that single latent factor structure was acceptable fitted. The highest and lowest loadings were working style and tolerance of ambiguity, respectively. The reliability estimate of the five factors (idea generation, concentration, independence, tolerance of ambiguity, and working style) were 0.42, 0.55, 0.71, 0.32 and 0.73. The most important factor was working style followed by independence, concentration, idea generation and tolerance of ambiguity. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
