Many researchers have requested Professor Bandura's Parental Self-Efficacy Scale. You may obtain psychometric information on this scale by perusing the articles by Prof. Gian Vittorio Caprara. The scale was used in the following studies, which you may download:
Bandura A., Barbaranelli C., & Caprara, G. V., & Pastorelli, C. (2001). Self-efficacy beliefs as shapers of children's aspirations and career trajectories. Child Development, 72, 187-206.
Caprara G. V., Barbaranelli C., & Borgogni L., Pettita, L., & Rubinacci, A. (2003). Teachers', school staff's and parents' efficacy beliefs as determinants of attitudes toward school. European Journal of Psychology of Education, 18(1), 15-31.
