The Development and Validation of Short Self-Regulation Scale (SSR) on Indonesian College Students

Abstract

The measurement of self-regulation aspects in the simpler context of Indonesian college students is still limited. This study aims to develop and extract the scale on a shorter version in the context of Indonesian college students. The analysis of short version self-regulation scale (SSRQ), begins with 17 items representing four conceptual dimensions. Meanwhile, this version analyzes 265 active college students, using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The finding of EFA suggest the measurement model with nine items of first order factor. While the result of CFA shows that overall model of self-regulation scale is fit and consistent with the collected data based on three categories of measure which are absolute fit indices, incremental fit indices and parsimoni fit indices. This research concludes that the scale has been met validity and reliability criteria in measuring the component of self-regulation in the context of Indonesian college students.

The Relationship Between Mind Wandering and Vulnerability of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Self-Regulation as a Moderator

“…Fradkin and Huppert discovered that individuals with OCD have a higher likelihood of recalling negative (as opposed to non-negative) out-of-context thoughts, implying that MW could be a potential risk factor for OCD [18]. Although there is an association between MW and OCD, the precise nature of their relationship is not well understood [47].…”

“…In general, self-regulation refers to self-control and evaluation behavior. As stated by Hude that self-regulation refers to control of emotion in certain situation in order to stop or manage the emerged emotion before reacting on certain events [47]. Also self regulation is a complex, multicomponent construct operating across several levels of function (e.g., motor, physiological, social-emotional, cognitive, behavioral and motivational), which, in its broadest sense, represents the ability to volitionally plan and, as necessary, modulate one's behavior(s) to an adaptive end [33].…”

“…While differences in experience, environment and ideas of individuals can influence the behavior they do. Self-regulation is influenced by several factors such as individual characteristics and personality, believed culture and religion, motivation, confidence and triggering situation that causes the emergence of regulation process [47,49].…”
