- Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the factor structure of the Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS; Tangney, Baumeister and Boone, 2004) used as self-report with a sample of 151 participants in Colombia (mean age 8.2 years, 50.33 % girls and 49.66 % boys) and 115 participants in Chile (mean age 7.3 years, 53.04 % girls and 49.95 % boys). The scale was also answered as a hetero-report by 80 mothers of the Colombian participants and the 115 mothers of the Chilean participants. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) revealed bifactor solutions in all samples and reported acceptable internal consistency values, although the composition of the factors differed markedly between countries and between mothers and children. The findings are discussed in terms of cultural differences, in the socialization self-control and development of self-regulation skills in the early elementary school years. According to these findings, the measurement of self-control in this age group using the BSCS requires adjustments.
