The Bicultural Self-Efficacy Scale (BSES; David, Okazaki, & Saw, 2009) was developed to assess individuals' perceived ability to competently navigate between two cultural contexts. The BSES has six dimensions, (1) social groundedness; (2) communication ability; (3) positive attitudes; (4) knowledge; (5) role repertoire; and (6) bicultural beliefs.
