Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that internal consistency of the long-term and short-term factors was satisfactory. Requirements for concurrent and construct validity were met. Cronbach''s alpha coefficient for short-term and long-term self-regularly subscales were 0/81 (ST) and 0/80 (LT). Finally¡ the results suggested that ASRI was two-factor¡ reliable tool for assessing and evaluating dimensions of intentional self-regulation in adolescence.
