The present study analyses the psychometric properties of the Self-efficacy in the Sociocultural Sphere Scale in men and women university students. The overall sample consisted of 1545 subjects: 616 women and 929 men, with a mean age of 18.11 years (SD= 0.69) and 18.27 years (SD= 0.75) respectively. Psychometric analysis showed that two-factorial structure (promotion of the culture and cultural identity) was viable and adequate for both populations (men and woman) according to the established psychometric requirements when the informers are the students themselves. The results showed that factor structure, factor loadings and intercepts of the instrument could be considered invariant across groups; however, there are differences between groups for the means of factors promotion of the culture and cultural identity.
