Evidence was collected from adolescents (grades 6, 8 and 10) from a suburban school districts in southern Michigan (N=169).

Internal consistency (alpha) estimates were 0.75 for the short-term scale and 0.80 for the long-term scale (Moilanen, 2007).

Evidence based on content

Item pool was developed by graduate students and then classified as short-term or long-term by faculty members (Moilanen, 2007).

Evidence based on response processes

Student and faculty reviewers provided feedback on item wording, and the instrument was piloted with a sample of undergraduate psychology students (Moilanen, 2007).

Evidence based on internal structure

Confirmatory factor analysis was used to substantiate two factors (short-term and long-term self regulation). Factors correlated 0.83 (Moilanen, 2007).

Evidence based on relations with other variables

Short-term and long-term self regulation was positively correlated with parental warmth and negatively correlated with parental psychological control, which was consistent with theory. Short and long-term self-regulation was also positively correlated with academic performance and prosocial behavior (Moilanen, 2007).
