Title
Action Control Scale (ACS-90)
Abstract
In June 2010, the LISS-I panel completed the Action Control Scale (ACS-90) questionnaire with the aim of gaining insight into the effects of independent versus interdependent self-construal on the relationship between self-regulatory competence, self-access and well-being across cultures.
The two (of the three) scales used here are:
a) Failure-related action orientation vs. preoccupation (AOF)
b) Decision-related action orientation vs. hesitation (AOD).
