摘要：Self-control is an important psychological trait that drug addicts need to have to break free from addiction. However, many studies reported that self-control among drug addicts are still low, indicating problems in a drug-free life. This study therefore aimed to investigate the relationship between self-control and its dimensions with hope. This study also aimed to examine self-control dimensions as predictors of hope. This study employed a cross-sectional survey to collect data. A total of 244 samples were selected randomly from drug rehabilitation centers in Malaysia. Data were collected using a set of questionnaire consisting the Self-Control Scale (SCS) and Herth Hope Scale (HHS). The data were then analysed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis. Results showed significant correlation between four dimensions of self-control (impulsivity, simple task, self-centeredness and temper) with hope. However, results found no significant correlations between risk-seeking and physical activities. In addition, impulsivity and temper were significant predictors towards hope. This study showed the significance of self-control to be incorporated in rehabilitation programmes of drug addiction to increase the effectiveness of treatment. This is important in the effort to reduce relapse and prevent individuals from getting involved in drug addiction.
