Control Dimension of Self-regulation: A Scale Adaptation Study

36209

The purpose of this study is to adapt the Self-Regulation Scale, originally developed in German by Schwarzer, Diehl ve Schmitz (1999) and was later adapted to English by Diehl, Semegon ve Schwarzer (2006), to Turkish and conduct the reliability and validity studies. The participants included undergraduate students (n=389) in a public university in Ankara. Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analyses were employed to determine the construct validity of the scale, Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated to identify reliability, and the correlation analyses were conducted with the General Self-efficacy Scale and Academic Self-efficacy Scale to examine the criterian validity. The results of the factor analyses revealed that the adapted scale is unidimensional and had a total of 7 items. The Cronbach’s Alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale was .84 and test-retest correlation was .67. Additionally, there were significant positive relationships with General and Academic Self-efficacy Scales. The results of the analyses indicated that the Turkish version of the Self-regulation Scale is a valid and reliable instrument.
