Building upon recent advances …
A preliminary scale for assessing translators’ self-efficacy
Although applied self-efficacy research currently offers some promising avenues of study for Translatology (Jiménez Ivars and Pinazo Calatayud 2001; Atkinson 2012; Bolaños-Medina 2014), no specific translation self-efficacy scale (TSE) with adequate psychometric properties has been devised until now. The purpose of this study is, on the one hand, to develop a scale for assessing translators’ self-efficacy following the recommended standard guidel…

In order to provide a fully functional version of a test in a different language and culture, the whole cultural context within which a p…
