Abstract
Promotion- and prevention-focused regulation influence a variety of workplace behaviors, including innovation and safety performance. Although regulatory foci are theorized to vary both between- and within-individuals, little within-person research has been conducted. One reason for this gap is the lack of a well-validated state regulatory focus scale. Thus, across four studies (total N = 1,300), we develop and validate the State Regulatory Focus Scale (SRFS). We find that the scale scores are reliable, exhibit measurement invariance, and demonstrate convergent, divergent, and predictive validity. In addition, the SRFS detects changes in state regulatory foci in response to a regulatory focus induction. Overall, within-person regulatory foci relationships matched meta-analytic estimates, although were weaker compared to the between-person level relationships. We conclude with recommendations for future research.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
