N2 - The Low Self-Control Measure (Miller et al., 2009) was developed within the context of a study using self-control theory to investigate self-control, attachment, and deviance among Hispanic adolescents. Low self-control was assessed by 8 items modeled after Grasmick et al.'s (1993) widely-used scale. The measure included at least one item measuring each of Gottfredson & Hirschi's (1990) 6 specified dimensions of low self-control: Impulsivity (1 item), Shortsightedness (1 item), Preference for physical versus mental activities (2 items), Risk-seeking (1 item), Self-centeredness (1 item), and Temper (2 items). Factor analysis was performed amongst a sample of Hispanic adolescents in Puerto Rico (aged 15-19 years), revealing a one-factor solution. Results supported reliability. The measure also showed significant correlations with measures assessing age, being male, and differential association, along with maternal attachment and deviant behavior.
