[Purpose/significance] Self-efficacy in information security(SEIS) is an important part of information literacy because they influence people's security awareness, emotions and actions. However, a self-efficacy measure which might appropriately reflect one's SEIS is still lacking in the domestic literature. To address this research gap, the current study developed a Chinese version of SEIS scale and tested its validity and reliability. [Method/process] The study was conducted in two phases. Phase I was the process of translation and revision of Rhee's version. Phase II was a cross-sectional study. The survey data was used to assess the validity and reliability of the Chinese version. [Result/conclusion] The Cronbach's alpha and the split-half reliability of the scale were 0.870 and 0.857, respectively. The construct validity, the single dimensional model was explained total variance was 44.16% by the exploratory factor analysis and the confirmatory factor analysis illustrated the single dimensional model was reasonable to be accepted. The research results show the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of SEIS scale which satisfy the need of the study and could be of practical application.
