Analysis

The Self-Management Ability Scale is a psychometric tool designed to assess an individual’s self-management abilities. Self-management refers to a person’s ability to manage their own habits, emotional states, and daily activities in order to achieve personal and professional goals.

Objective

The main objective of the SMAS-30 is to evaluate an individual’s ability to manage their own behaviors, thoughts, and emotional states. The scale can be used to identify areas where improvement in self-management may be needed and to develop intervention strategies to enhance personal effectiveness and well-being.

Calibration

The SMAS-30 includes 30 questions that assess various aspects of self-management. The questions are typically rated on a Likert scale, from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The main areas covered include self-management strategies, emotional regulation, self-discipline, and problem-solving.
