This study investigated the constructs measured by the Self-efficacy for Self-regulated Learning Scale with 235 undergraduates. The 24 items, derived from 13 validated categories of self-regulated learning from Zimmerman and Martinez-Pons, assess efficacy beliefs about general strategies (11 items) and use of specific self-regulatory activities (13 items). Exploratory factor analysis using principal factors with oblique rotation indicated three factors of General Organization and Planning, Task Preparation Strategies, and Environmental Restructuring. Values of coefficient alpha for the three factors were .84, .72, and .79, respectively
