The Czech validation of the self-regulation questionnaire

Abstract

The authors report on the validation of the Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ), originally developed by Brown et al. (1999). The SRQ was administered to a sample of 360 university students in the Czech Republic. The factor analysis yielded a four-factor model with factors Impulse Control, Goal Orientation, Self-direction and Decision Making. In this version, SRQ has 27 items with a reliability of .88. The total explained variance was 43%. The findings supported the claim that SRQ does not follow the sequence of steps in self-regulation as described by Miller and Brown (1991). (C) 2015 The Authors.
