摘要
Background. The Regulatory Mode Questionnaire (RMQ) is the most used and internationally well-known instrument for the measurement of individual differences in the two self-regulatory modes: locomotion (i.e., the aspect of self-regulation that is concerned with movement from state to state) and assessment (i.e., the comparative aspect of self-regulation). The aim of the present study was to verify the independence of the two regulatory modes as postulated by the Regulatory Mode Theory (Krulancki, I, 2000), and the psychometric properties of the RMQ in the Swedish context. Furthermore, we investigated the relafionship between regulatory modes (locomotion and assessment) and affective well-being (i.e positive affect and negative affect). Method. A total of 655 university and high school students in the West of Sweden (males =- 408 females = 242, and five participants who didn't report their gender; age(mean) = 21.93 +/- 6.51) responded to the RMQ and the Positive Affect Negative Affect Schedule. We conducted two confirmatory factor analyses using structural equation modeling (SEM). A third SEM was conducted to test the relationship between locomotion and assessment to positive affect and negative affect. Results. The first analyses confirmed the unidimensional factor structure of locomotion and lassessment and both scales showed good reliability. The assessment scale, however, was modified by dropping item to (ci don't thinking much time tbinng about ways others could improve themselves") i because t showed low loading (.07, p =.115). Furthermore, the effect of locomotion Ion positive affect was stronger than the effect f assessment on positive affect (Z = 15.16, p <.001), while the effect of assessment on negative affect was stronger than the effect of locomotion on negative affect (Z-= 10.73, p <.001). Conclusion The factor structure of the Swedish version of the RMQ is, as Regulatory Mode Theory suggests, unidimensional and it show?d good reliability. The scales discriminated between the two affective well-being dimensions. We suggest that the Swedish version of the RMQ, with only minor modifications, is a useful instrument to tap individual differences in locomotion and assessment. Hence, the present study contributes to the validation of the RMQ in the Swedish culture and adds support to the theoretical framework of self-regulatory mode.
