AB  - Self-efficacy describes people's belief in their own ability to perform the 
      behaviors required to produce a desired outcome. The purpose of this study was to 
      examine the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of the General 
      Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) with an adolescent sample, using Rasch analysis. The 
      scale was examined with a focus on invariant functioning along the latent trait 
      as well as across sample groups. The data were collected 2009 and 2010 among 3764 
      students aged between 13 and 15 years, in the 7(th) to 9(th) grade, in compulsory 
      schools in the municipality of Karlstad, Sweden. The item fit was acceptable, the 
      categorization of the items worked well and the scale worked invariantly between 
      years of investigations. Although the GSES worked well as a whole, there was some 
      evidence of misfit indicating room for improvements. The targeting may be 
      improved by adding more questions of medium difficulty. Also, further attention 
      needs to be paid to the dimensionality of the GSES as well as to whether the 
      psychometric properties of GSES are affected by using more recent data.
