Analysis

The Adolescent or Parent Self-Regulatory Inventory (APSRI) was designed to assess the ability of adolescents or parents to regulate their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Self-regulation is a critical skill that affects mental health, academic success, and interpersonal relationships.

Objective

The main objective of the APSRI is to provide a comprehensive assessment of self-regulation in adolescents or parents.

Scoring

The APSRI includes statements that are rated by participants on a Likert scale, typically 5 or 7 points, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 or 7 (strongly agree). The statements cover various aspects of self-regulation, such as emotional, cognitive, and behavioral regulation, motivation, and goal achievement.
