“…In a study examining the measurement properties of the scale in more detail, it was found that it offered an adequate measure of its latent concept but that it might not measure very high or low levels of self-control precisely (Hasford and Bradley, 2011). The authors found moderate correlations between these scales and scales measuring social desirability tendencies (ranging between 0.50 and 0.60).…”

“…(Tangney et al 2004). Research testing the empirical validity of the scale have found it be valid, reliable and consistent (Hasford & Bradley, 2011). The study comprehensively rejected the Null hypothesis which proposed that a positive correlation between self control and well being would not be established.…”

The relationship between self-control and subjective wellbeing is an area of increasing interest for researchers in the field of positive psychology. Although numerous earlier studies have found evidence of a positive correlation between self control and several sub factors of well being such as life satisfaction, societal adjustment and social relationships, research investigating self control and well being as a distinct construct remains sparse. This study focused on researching the relationship and dynamics between self control and well being, assessing the findings with earlier studies in the area in view of the differences in society, culture and political dynamics of the location of the study and providing recommendations for enhancing self control in life. The study assessed 100 students and faculty members at an accredited university in Pakistan. Utilizing the longer version of the Ryff (1995) wellbeing scale and the full version of the Tangney, Braumeister, and Boone, (2004) self control scale, the study found a moderate correlation between self control and subjective well being, r= .583, p < 0.05. This was in line with prior studies in the field that also reported moderate to high positive associations between the two variables. The study concluded that self control positively affects well being, the results being similar and consistent across developed and developing countries and that there are specific strategies that can be utilized to enhance personal self control in life.

“…Por lo que refiere al ajuste global de los ítems, este fue adecuado para 35 de los 36 ítems que componen la escala. Si bien existe un único ítem que no se ajusta a lo que el modelo podría predecir, cabe mencionar que en la literatura no se encuentran motivos teóricos que expliquen tal comportamiento (Hasford & Bradley, 2011).…”

“…Por ende, no se observó la presencia de reactivos en el extremo superior e inferior del continuo. Esta distribución de los ítems indicaría que la SCS no permitiría valorar niveles muy altos o muy bajos de autocontrol, lo cual coincide con otros estudios que han reportados resultados similares (Hasford & Bradley, 2011). Considerar esto resulta de interés, ya que diversos estudios que utilizan la SCS llegan a conclusiones que implican afirmaciones respecto a altos niveles o bajos niveles de autocontrol.…”

“…Considerar esto resulta de interés, ya que diversos estudios que utilizan la SCS llegan a conclusiones que implican afirmaciones respecto a altos niveles o bajos niveles de autocontrol. Como puede apreciarse, estas inferencias no serían adecuadas, puesto que la escala no permitiría la valoración de intensidades extremas del atributo (Hasford & Bradley, 2011).…”

Considerando la importancia teórica, empírica y práctica de la valoración del autocontrol mediante instrumentos válidos y confiables, en el presente estudio se evaluaron las propiedades psicométricas de la versión original de la Self-Control Scale (SCS). Con este fin, se utilizó el modelo de escala de clasificación para estimar la unidimensionalidad, la idoneidad de las categorías de respuesta y el ajuste de las personas a los ítems de la SCS. Estos análisis se realizaron en una muestra por conveniencia de 1072 estudiantes universitarios argentinos. Entre los principales resultados puede mencionarse que la SCS permite una valoración unidimensional del constructo autocontrol y que una versión de la escala con 3 categorías de respuesta podría ser más adecuada para la medición del autocontrol que la versión original de 5 categorías. Sin embargo, se encontró que con la nueva configuración de las categorías de respuesta se presentaba un funcionamiento diferencial en 3 ítems de acuerdo al sexo de los participantes. Por último, el mapa de distribución de ítems y de personas mostró ausencia de elementos en el extremo superior e inferior del continuo autocontrol.Palabras clave: autocontrol, modelo Rasch, Self-Control Scale, propiedades psicométricas, estudiantes universitarios Considering the theoretical, empirical, and practical importance of self-control assessment through valid and reliable instruments, the present study examined the psychometric properties of the original version of the Self-Control Scale (SCS). To this end, the rating scale model was used to estimate unidimensionality, the adequacy of response categories, and participant fit. These analyses were conducted using a convenience sample of 1072 Argentine university students. Among other findings, it was observed that the SCS makes it possible to assess the self-control construct unidimensionally and that a version of the scale with 3 response categories would be more adequate for measuring self-control than the original 5-category version. However, it was found that the new configuration of response categories led to differential functioning in 3 items depending on the participants' sex. Finally, the personitem distribution map showed a lack of elements at the top and bottom of the self-control continuum.
