Abstract
The data include responses to the Swedish version of a questionnaire used to operationalize self-regulation or regulatory mode: assessment and locomotion. The data was collected among 567 Swedish high school and university students (see Garcia and Lindskär, 2016 [1]). In this article, we also include the Swedish version of the Regulatory Mode Questionnaire. The data is available, SPSS file, as supplementary material in this article.

1. Data
The Swedish version of the Regulatory Mode questionnaire was answered by 567 individuals.
2. Experimental design, materials and methods
2.1. Participants
The data were collected among 567 high school and university students with an age mean = 22.07 ± 6.52 (198 males, 366 females, and 3 who did not report gender).
2.2. Questionnaire
Regulatory mode theory [2], [3], [4], [5] suggests that individuals approach goals by pondering about different ways and their own capability to reach that goal (i.e. assessment) and by putting things into motion by simply starting and keep doing the behavior (i.e. locomotion). The Regulatory Mode Questionnaire [2] is a 30-item (12 for each mode and 6 for a lie scale) instrument with a 6-point Likert scale (e.g. assessment: ‘I often critique work done by myself or others’; locomotion: ‘I am a “doer”). The Swedish version (see Appendix 1) has been used in previous studies [1], [6], [7]). In the present study, Cronbach's alphas were 0.75 for assessment and 0.74 for locomotion. Although participants responded to the whole instrument, the lie scale score was no used in the analyses.
Acknowledgements
We would like to convey our gratitude to the participants for spending their valuable time answering the questionnaires. We are especially thankful to Alexander Jimmefors for his assistance in the collection of the data among high school students. The development of this article was funded by a grant from the Swedish Research Council (Dnr. 2015-01229). The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.
