DIAZ-SANTOS, Mirella; CUMBA-AVILES, Eduardo; BERNAL, Guillermo  e  RIVERA-MEDINA, Carmen. Development and psychometric properties of the escala de autoeficacia para la depresión en adolescentes (EADA). Interam. j. psychol. [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.2, pp.218-227. ISSN 0034-9690.

Self-efficacy questionnaires used with adolescents are mostly youth-adapted adult measures or scales developed to assess general perceived self-efficacy. The purpose of this study was to develop and assess the psychometric properties of the Escala de Autoeficacia para la Depresión en Adolescentes (EADA). Additionally, the Emotional Self-efficacy subscale from the Self-Efficacy Questionnaire for Children and the Children’s Depression Inventory-Short Version were administered to evaluate concurrent validity among these three measures. Participants were 116 adolescents between 13 and 17 years old. Results revealed that EADA has excellent internal consistency and concurrent validity, and support its adequacy as a measure to assess youth self-perception of confidence when confronting situations related to Major Depressive Disorder.
