Abstract:This study presents a Single-Case Experimental Design (SCED) study that examined the effectiveness of the Self-Control Intervention aPP (SCIPP) in enhancing self-control and its impact on emotion regulation among students. The study took 28 days and included four participants. SCIPP, developed based on the Strength Model of self-control, was implemented using an ABAB design, with baseline and intervention phases. During the two intervention phases, SCIPP was used for 7 days. Self-control and emotion regulation were measured daily through self-report questionnaires throughout the full study. The data analysis incorporated visual analysis, randomization tests, and a general intervention effect. The results revealed no significant effects of SCIPP on self-control and consequently no increase of emotion regulation within the 28-day study period. Limitations, including the short duration of the intervention, the fit for the student population, and the use of self-report measures, should be considered when interpreting the results. Overall, this SCED study highlights the need for further investigation and improvement in interventions targeting self-control and emotion regulation among students.
