Brief Description

The RASE was developed to measure taskspecific self-efficacy for the initiation of self-management–related behavior, and was carefully worded to tap beliefs about capability to perform the behavior, rather than actual ability, performance, or outcome expectation.

Number of Items 28
Range 28-140
Responses options/scale Yes
Likert scale with response options 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree)
