Description:
The Brief Self-Control Scale was developed by Tangney et al. (2004) to measure individual differences in self-control. The questionnaire comprises 13 items with a 5-point Likert scale ranging from "not at all like me" to "very much like me". A German version of the Brief Self-Control Scale was developed by Sproesser et al. (2011).
