The Swedish version of the Regulatory Mode Questionnaire.

The data include responses to the Swedish version of a questionnaire used to operationalize self-regulation or regulatory mode: assessment and locomotion. The data was collected among 567 Swedish high school and university students (see Garcia and Lindskär, 2016 [1]). In this article, we also include the Swedish version of the Regulatory Mode Questionnaire. The data is available, SPSS file, as supplementary material in this article.

Participants

The data were collected among 567 high school and university students with an age mean = 22.07 ± 6.52 (198 males, 366 females, and 3 who did not report gender).

Questionnaire

Regulatory mode theory [2], [3], [4], [5] suggests that individuals approach goals by pondering about different ways and their own capability to reach that goal (i.e. assessment) and by putting things into motion by simply starting and keep doing the behavior (i.e. locomotion). The Regulatory Mode Questionnaire [2] is a 30-item (12 for each mode and 6 for a lie scale) instrument with a 6-point Likert scale (e.g. assessment: ‘I often critique work done by myself or others’; locomotion: ‘I am a “doer”). The Swedish version (see Appendix 1) has been used in previous studies [1], [6], [7]). In the present study, Cronbach's alphas were 0.75 for assessment and 0.74 for locomotion. Although participants responded to the whole instrument, the lie scale score was no used in the analyses.
