Age-Related Specifics of Self-Regulation in Employees of FPS (Federal Penitentiary Service)

In order to research the age-related specifics of self-regulation among the employees of Federal Penitentiary Service (FPS) of Russia, we conducted an empirical study on a sample of 40 male professionals aged 25-49 (average age was 35.20±7.41 years). Our diagnostic toolset was comprised of the following: Behavior Self-regulation Style Inventory (Moro-sanova V.I., 1999), Self-control Questionnaire (H. Grasmick, 1993, adapted by Bulygina V.G., Abdrazyakova A.M., 2010), BIS/BAS questionnaire (Carver C.S., White T.L., 1994, standardized by Knyazev G.G., Slobodskaya Ye.R., 2007). The empirical data were ana-lyzed using statistical treatment, descriptive analysis, correlation analysis (Pearson’s r). The study of the age-related parameters of the subjects’ conscious self-regulation revealed that the number of links between one’s self-regulation parameters and one’s individual typolog-ical characteristics decreases (with age).
