Analysis

The Writing Self-Regulation Scale (WSRS) was designed to evaluate the strategies and skills that individuals use to monitor and regulate their writing process.

Purpose

The main purpose of the Writing Self-Regulation Scale is to provide an accurate assessment of the self-regulation strategies that individuals employ during the writing process. The scale helps to understand how individuals manage writing difficulties, use strategies to improve the quality of their writing, and work toward achieving their writing goals.

Scoring

The WSRS includes statements that are rated on a Likert scale, usually from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The total score is derived from the sum of the scores for the individual statements, with higher scores indicating better self-regulation abilities in the writing process.
