Description

The Self-Regulation Questionnaires (SRQ) are a set of psychometric tools designed to assess an individual’s ability to regulate behavior, emotions, and thoughts in various contexts. Self-regulation is considered critical for successful adaptation and goal achievement in life.

Purpose

The main purpose of the SRQ is to measure the extent to which individuals manage and control their internal processes. The SRQ items examine aspects such as self-regulation of learning, health, work, diet, and emotional state.

Analysis

The analysis of the SRQ is based on responses given to various statements related to self-regulation. These statements are often rated on a Likert scale, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). The responses are collected and analyzed to produce an overall self-regulation score for each domain.

Calibration

The calibration of the SRQ is carried out using the total scores from the responses to the items. Higher scores indicate a higher level of self-regulation. Calibration helps categorize individuals into different levels of self-regulation ability and can be used to guide educational and therapeutic interventions.
