i wie Regarding the demographics, the sample consists of a convenient sample of 192 Greeks, who were recruited through the snowball sampling method. The mean age was found at 33.7 (SD+ 12.16). The youngest participant was aged 18 years old and the oldest 67 years old. Further information regarding the Socio- demographics are given in Table 1. In the case of Greece, currently the translation of the GSE scale can be found freely online (Glynou et al., 1994). However, there are a few key considerations regarding the available Greek scale. Firstly, the questionnaire was translated 30 years ago, and secondly although many Greek works have referenced the online source of the questionnaire, it is quite unsure if the scale has ever been tested for its validity and reliability in the Greek scale in any other research protocol since its __ initial introduction. This is quite unlikely since there are not available articles that show any details or any repetitions of the research with different Greek participants throughout MATERIALS & METHODS

Table 3. Cronbach's Alpha if Item Deleted in GSE. N= 192 The present study is part of a research protocol that tested the levels of Internal validity was tested via a correlation analysis between the 10 items of the scale. The inter-item correlation matrix shows values between r= .297 and r= .673, and thus considered satisfying since there were no values below .200 and over .800 (Field, 2017). Further details on the analysis are provided in Table 2.

Construct Validity nn ) as Factor analysis was performed with EFA with Varimax rotation and an Eigenvalue of 1.5. The results of the analysis show one factor to exist, while all items are loaded to this component with score equal or greater than .528. It is highly recommended that this one factor is general self-efficacy. Table 4 illustrates more details of the analysis.
