GARRIDO, Sebastian Jesús et al. Análisis de Modelos Rivales Unidimensionales y Bidimensionales de la Escala Breve de Autocontrol en Estudiantes Universitarios Argentinos. Rev. psicodebate: psicol. cult. soc. [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.2, pp.26-37. ISSN 24516600.

The Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS) is a broad used measure to assess self-control. However, there is a lack of agreement about its internal structure. Therefore, in this study we carried several confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA) to compare unidimensionality and bidimensionality structures, on a sample of 848 Argentinian college students (663 female and 185 male), aged between 18 And 30 years old. Additionally, we made internal consistency analysis, and we obtained the contrast group validity. Based on the results obtained, we concluded that the unidimensional post-hoc model designed by Tangney, Baumeister and Boone (2004) possess the best psychometric properties, therefore is can be considered a valid and reliable instrument to use in academic research.
