Analysis

The Self-Regulation Questionnaire is used to assess an individual’s ability to self-regulate in various areas of life. The questionnaire focuses on measuring the capacity to manage one’s emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in order to achieve goals and adapt to changes or challenges.

Objective

The aim of the questionnaire is to evaluate individuals’ self-regulation ability by measuring different aspects of self-regulation, such as coping strategies, emotional management, and organization and planning for goal achievement.

Scoring

The questionnaire includes a series of statements that participants must evaluate on a Likert scale, usually with 5 or 7 points. The overall score is typically obtained by summing or averaging the scores of the individual items, with higher scores indicating greater self-regulation ability.
