- Self-regulation assessment: A validation study(2024) Fuente-Arias, J. (Jesús) de la; Garzón-Umerenkova, A. (Angélica)Introduction. Self-regulation is planning and managing behavior appropriately and flexibly. It predicts well-being, health, and academic performance, among other things. The psycho-metric characterization of the Abbreviated Self-Regulation Questionnaire (CAR-abr.), which consists of 17 items, is presented. It is a versatile instrument extensively used in various coun-tries and professional contexts, such as education or clinical settings. Method. A content validation of the questionnaire was conducted to verify its linguistic and cultural adequacy, followed by an application to a convenience sample. 710 Colombian uni-versity students from 12 majors, aged 18 to 33 years (M = 20.3, SD = 4.3), 31.5% men partic-ipated. Results. The results indicate a good fit of the items to the Rasch model, adequate functioning of the Likert scale, and evidence of construct validity, although the questionnaire would bene-fit from including items of greater difficulty. The reliability was .84 for individuals and .98 for items. The self-regulation score correlated positively with flourishing (.416**, p<.01) and mental health (.372**, p<.01), and negatively with bad habits (-.343**, p<.01). Discussion and conclusions. The test can be used in various measurement and evaluation contexts. The results allow for establishing a level of self-regulation with sufficient reliability and evidence of validity. The possible uses and limitations of CAR-abr. for psychological measurement and evaluation are discussed.
- A Linear Empirical Model of Self-Regulation on Flourishing, Health, Procrastination, and Achievement, Among University Students(2018) Fuente-Arias, J. (Jesús) de la; Amate-Romera, J. (Jorge); Fiz-Pérez, J. (Javier); Fadda, S. (Salvatore); Paoloni, P. (Paola); Garzón-Umerenkova, A. (Angélica)This research aimed to analyze the linear bivariate correlation and structural relations between self-regulation -as a central construct-, with flow, health, procrastination and academic performance, in an academic context. A total of 363 college students took part, 101 men (27.8%) and 262 women (72.2%). Participants had an average age of 22 years and were between the first and fifth year of studies. They were from five different programs and two universities in Bogotá city (Colombia). A validated ad hoc questionnaire of physical and psychological health was applied along with a battery of tests to measure self-regulation, procrastination, and flourishing. To establish an association relationship, Pearson bivariate correlations were performed using SPSS software (v. 22.0), and structural relationship predictive analysis was performed using an SEM on AMOS software (v. 22.0). Regarding this linear association, it was established that (1) self-regulation has a significant positive association on flourishing and overall health, and a negative effect on procrastination. Regarding the structural relation, it confirmed that (2) self-regulation is a direct and positive predictor of flourishing and health; (3) self-regulation predicts procrastination directly and negatively, and academic performance indirectly and positively; and (4) age and gender have a prediction effect on the analyzed variables. Implications, limitations and future research scope are discussed.
