Аннотация:Self-control is understood as the ability of the individual to manage
his behavior and emotions, thoughtfully react to events that happen
around him, and to prevent himself from acting out of undesirable
impulses and emotions. This article presents two studies that sought
to validate a Russian-language version of the Brief Self-Control
Scale that was developed by June P. Tangney, Roy F. Baumeister,
and Angie Luzio Boone. The studies tested samples of employees (n =
591) and students (n = 328), respectively, using the scale consisting
of 13 items. We demonstrate the one-dimensional structure of the
scale using confirmatory factor analysis. The scale has high reliability
(Cronbach alpha of 0.84 and 0.79), and it demonstrates predictable
current and potential future relationships with self-reported
and objective indicators of academic and professional success. Selfcontrol
is associated with indicators of successful functioning and
well-being. The obtained connections retain statistical reliability
when controlling for social desirability. The results show that selfcontrol
is an important personal-motivational resource that contributes
to success in life and improving psychological well-being.
