Digital Technologies in Psychological Assessment: How We Use Log Data from a Computer-Based Supermarket Simulation to Assess Childrenʼs Self-Control

Children often struggle with self-control, which is an important trait when it comes to making purchase decisions. In this study, we designed a computer-based supermarket in which we analyzed children's behavior using complex log data. Based on theoretical assumptions about self-control, we extracted behavioral indicators and confirmed their association factor-analytically.
