The paper deals with the possibility of operationalization and review process of self-control in dealing with stressful situations. This verifies an alternative of indirect identification of self-control in coping through by us selected indicator of suppression of selected forms of coping. Based on the definition of self-control, we sampled the suppression by the difference between the wanted (under consideration) and then realized behavior (coping) in the background of simplified questionnaire of coping and model stressful situation. The sample consisted of 153 college students. Self-control has been shown mainly in strategies 7. Express negative emotions, 8. Stop fighting and 13. Show that this all is ridiculous. These strategies are socially undesirable, which further supports the suitability of the chosen indicator of suppression. It is also documented by a positive correlation of these strategies with Scale of Self-control self-report questionnaire.
