Psychological factors play an important role in higher education. With respect to students' understanding of scientific research methods, research self-efficacy (RSE) has been studied as a core construct. However, findings on antecedents and outcomes of RSE are oftentimes heterogeneous regarding both its theoretical and empirical structures. The present study helps disentangle these findings by (a) establishing and validating an integrated, multi-dimensional assessment of RSE and (b) introducing a developmental perspective on RSE by testing the impact of the disciplinary context and academic seniority on both mean level and latent structure of RSE. The construct validity of the new measure was supported based on RSE assessments of 554 German psychology and educational science students. Relations to convergent and discriminant measures were as expected. Measurement invariance and LSEM analyses revealed significant differences in latent model parameters between most sub-groups of training level and disciplinary context. We discuss our findings of measurement non-invariance as a feature rather than a bug by stressing a process-oriented perspective on RSE. In this regard, we conclude potential future directions of research and RSE theory development, alongside implications for methods education practice in higher education
