Abstract

The present study theorized the dimensions of classroom behavior intervention, hypothesizing that preparedness to handle perceived challenging behaviors would split into three factors: internalizing behaviors, attention-related behaviors, and social behaviors. Based on this theory, a psychological measurement, the Behavior Intervention Self-Efficacy (BISE) scale was developed. The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the BISE, investigating the factor structure, validity evidence based on the relationship with a similar scale, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability. Furthermore, the variability of the BISE responses was analyzed based on demographic characteristics of the school environment, training background, work experience, and student populations. Results revealed a unidimensional structure of the BISE, assessing overall behavior intervention self-efficacy across various types of challenging behaviors. Some demographic characteristics were associated with the BISE ratings, including type of schools, training background, job title, type of services, work experience, and student racial characteristics. The utility of the BISE as well as clinical and research implication are discussed.
