Studies of self-efficacy that is linked to realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional (RIASEC) typology constitute a growing field of research because of its relevance to vocational and occupational choices. Particularly in Argentina, this line of research is still ongoing and requires valid and reliable measurement tools. The present work adapted the Learning Experiences Questionnaire (LEQ) in a sample of 721 university students (473 women, 248 men), 18-53 years old, from Córdoba, Argentina. The authors translated the items of the LEQ and corroborated the cultural adequacy of their content. The multiple factorial structure that was reported in previous studies in North American contexts was replicated using the multitrait-multimethod matrix. The results provide convergent and discriminant evidence of the scale for use with Argentinean university students. Limitations are discussed, and further lines of investigation are suggested.
