The purpose of this current study is to develop the Eudaimonic Self-Regulation Scale, which measures the regulation of emotions, cognitions, behaviors and interpersonal relationships in order to reach the eudaimonia explained by ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle. Eudaimonic Self-Regulation Scale, Flourishing Scale, Mindful Attention and Awareness Scale, Personal Growth Initiative Scale, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale were used as measurement instruments. Participants of the study consisted of 1042 adults between the ages of 18 and 65, including 3 different sample groups. As a result of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) of Eudaimonic Self Regulation Scale, a 10-factor structure model with 43 items, which explained % 57.93 of the total variance was obtained. According to the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) results, the factor loadings ranged from .48 to .88. In addition, model fit indices were satisfactory (χ2=2395.39; df=815, χ2/df=2.93, RMSEA=0.054, CFI=0.97, IFI=0.97, SRMR=0.050). Cronbach’s α values of sub-scales ranged from .75 to .89. In terms of convergent validity, eudaimonic self-regulation indicated significant correlations with psychological well-being, mindfulness, self-efficacy, and personal growth initiative. According to the results of test-retest reliability analysis, the intraclass correlation coefficients ranged from .82 to .94, Pearson's correlation coefficients were between .71 and .88.  These results indicated that this scale was a valid and reliable instrument to assess eudaimonic self-regulation in the relevant researches.
