Imagine that you are interested in the following research question: “What are the differences in perceptions of self-efficacy among counseling students in online and land-based counseling graduate degree programs?”

In order to investigate this research question:

• Develop an operational definition of self-efficacy.
• Construct a 10-item survey to measure the self-efficacy of the counseling students. The survey should be based on one of the designs in the Learning Resources.
• Briefly discuss your rationale for the items you included.
• Briefly describe your method of data collection and data analysis.
• Explain the challenges of constructing a survey of this nature. Be specific and use examples.
