AB  - The aim of the present study was to use Rasch analysis to assess the psychometric 
      properties of the five-item version of the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) 
      amongst adolescents aged 13 to 19. In this cross-sectional study, 6265 
      adolescents responded to a web-based questionnaire. Data collected from lower and 
      upper secondary schools in Norway, during 2018, were analysed using the partial 
      credit parameterisation of the unidimensional Rasch model. The five-item version 
      of the GSES was found to be unidimensional and to have acceptable reliability. 
      The targeting of the scale could have been better. All items had ordered 
      thresholds, indicating that the response categories worked quite well. The 
      five-item version of the GSES has potential for measuring self-efficacy in a 
      general population of adolescents. In surveys concerning adolescents' mental 
      health, it is important to include aspects of positive mental health and 
      health-promoting factors, such as self-efficacy.
