Matthias Jerusalem and Ralf Schwarzer created the General Self-Efficacy Scale in 1981 in Germany.

The GSE Scale has 10 items scored on a scale from 1 to 4. A higher score indicates that the patient has a higher level of self-efficacy.

The GSE Scale measures the patient’s confidence in handling difficult situations. It is a valuable tool for mental health professionals looking to assess a patient’s level of self-efficacy.
