Children's Behavioral Self-Regulation Style Questionnaire Test

self-regulation

This brief questionnaire is designed to support screening of children’s self-regulation in everyday learning and classroom contexts. The Children’s Behavioral Self-Regulation Style Questionnaire is intended to characterize how a child typically manages attention, behavior, and effortful control across common situations.

It consists of 7 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items are phrased to be developmentally appropriate for school-age respondents and may be used as part of a broader psychological or educational assessment, with results interpreted alongside collateral information (e.g., teacher or caregiver observations).

The Children’s Behavioral Self-Regulation Style Questionnaire is attributed to Roy F. Baumeister and is best used to inform hypothesis generation and intervention planning rather than as a stand-alone diagnostic instrument.
