Summary:The purpose of this study was to develop a scale assessing high school students’ use of selfregulatory strategies while studying. In the pilot study, the scale was administered to 422 students. Eight factors were obtained through explanatory factor analysis: namely, motivation regulation, effort regulation, planning, attention focusing, summary strategy, highlighting strategy, using additional resources, and self-instruction. In the validation study, the 29-item final version of the scale was administered to 616 students. Results of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed eight factor solution. The Cronbach’s alpha for each factor ranged from .68 to .82. Additionally, results of Multivariate Analysis of Variance revealed significant gender differences. Findings provided some evidence for the validity and reliability of the Self-Regulatory Strategies Scale scores.
