General Information

The Child Self-Control Rating Scale (CSCRS) was designed to parallel an often-used, reliable, and valid parent-teacher self-control rating scale, The Self-Control Rating Scale (SCRS; Kendall and Wilcox, 1979). The CSCRS items were reworded to make them more suitable for children. CSCRS can be administered by either teachers or parents.
