A factor analysis of specific alcohol-related self-control practices reported by 410 young adults who completed a Self-control Questionnaire, consisting of both internal and external self-control measures, is described. Seven factors were extracted from the external self-control items including Rate Control, Self-reinforcement and Punishment, Alternatives, Avoidance, Limiting Driving and Cash, Controlling Time and Food, and Awareness. Three factors emerged from the internal self-control items including Impairment, Relaxation, and Anxiousness. These specific groupings of external and internal self-control variables should be empirically tested for their utility as interventions aimed at moderating the alcohol consumption of young adults
