Participants expected a driving test after drinking and therefore were motivated to...
متن کاملGenetic and Environmental Influences on Self-Control: Assessing Self-Control with the ASEBA Self-Control Scale
This study used a theoretically-derived set of items of the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment to develop the Achenbach Self-Control Scale (ASCS) for 7–16 year olds. Using a large dataset of over 20,000 children, who are enrolled in the Netherlands Twin Register, we demonstrated the psychometric properties of the ASCS for parent-, selfand teacherreport by examining internal and cr...
