The dataset comprises 12 items on the topic of "self-efficacy on climate change" and additionally some items on person-related information.

Please tick to what extent the following statements apply to you" [translated from German].

The items were used in German. The English translations were added to the dataset in square brackets. Data collection took place at a German university in 2022.
