Completion time is approximately 3 minutes. The questionnaire includes 16 items.
How should items be answered?
Each item should be answered based on typical behavior over recent months, not unusual days. Responses should reflect the option that best matches usual patterns.

Adolescent Voluntary Regulation Scale (EATQ-R) Test

self-regulationstructure of temperament

This brief measure assesses adolescents’ voluntary regulation, including self-control and attentional control across everyday contexts. The Adolescent Voluntary Regulation Scale (EATQ-R) is designed for use in clinical, school, and research settings to inform understanding of regulation-related strengths and difficulties.

It consists of 16 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Self-report and parent-report versions may be used to integrate perspectives across informants. The Adolescent Voluntary Regulation Scale (EATQ-R) (Samuel A. Putnam) can support case formulation and treatment planning by helping clinicians identify areas for targeted intervention and monitoring over time.
