The Metacognition in Self-Control Scale (MISCS)

Metacognition is a well-researched construct important to successful learning. Recent studies show that state-level metacognition regarding self-control conflicts also for successfully resolving these conflicts. Because there exists no scale assess trait-level in and because of limitations commonly used measures research, we adapted widely self-regulated learning, the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI). In two ( N = 315 503), constructed 12-item Self-Control Scale (MISCS), which loaded on factors metacognitive knowledge regulation . The MISCS showed good fit with internal consistencies. 10-day experience sampling part study 2, included 9639 reports conflicts, higher trait-levels as measured predicted state-levels success well subcomponents metacognition, namely knowledge, planning, monitoring, evaluation. Most associations persisted when controlling trait self-control, supporting usefulness beyond most research. adequate test-retest reliability. Correlations other scales, limitations, future directions are discussed. • We created first self-control. It self-regulatory metacognition.
