Adaptación y validación del Inventario de Estrategias de Autorregulación en estudiantes universitarios

The aim of this study was to adapt and validate the Self- Regulation Strategy Inventory—Self-Report (SRSI-SR) (Cleary, 2006) to the Spanish language and to a university population. The study was conducted with 542 randomly selected university students. Construct validity through exploratory factor analysis with oblique rotation indicated the resulting tool, SRSI-SR Adapted, is configured by four factors: (a) environmental management, (b) task organisation, (c) seeking information, and (d) inappropriate regulation habits. The factors are assessed through 18 items on a four points Likert scale. The internal consistency of the tool is high (.81). It all provides scores by factor and one general. Further analysis showed that grade-repeater students have higher scores on inappropriate regulation habits factor when compared with non-repeaters. Finally, the usefulness of the tool is discussed.
