Abstract
This study aimed to develop a new Academic Self-discipline (ASD) questionnaire and test its reliability. The questionnaire was conducted on 40 undergraduate students at the University of Leicester. Data was collected using the Experimental Participation Requirement (EPR) system and analyzed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). 58 were analyzed by factor analysis and internal reliability, which also helped obtain the final version of ASD. The test was validated using the face validity method. The results suggested that the ASD survey has 18 highly reliable items, with an α value of 0.9. The analysis also revealed that the questionnaire applied here has two main components: a study in a plan and attention.
