This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS; developed by Gratz & Roemer, 2004) in a Turkish sample. For this purpose, first, the factor structure of the scale was examined with a sample of 338 university students, and an identical factor structure with the original scale was obtained with the exclusion of a single item. Following the confirmation of the 6-factor structure of the scale with the current Turkish sample, the whole scale's and its six subscales' reliability coefficients were examined via internal consistency and test-retest reliability coefficients. These reliability analyses indicated satisfactory coefficients. As for the concurrent validity, the correlations of DERS and its subscales with measures of psychological distress were examined. This examination generally revealed strong correlations, although the awareness factor of DERS had relatively weaker correlations with the measures of psychological distress. Finally, concerning the criterion validity, all the measures of DERS could significantly differentiate the participants with "high psychological distress" from those with "low psychological distress"; however, for the awareness subscale the effect size was small. These findings were discussed in line with the relevant literature.
本研究旨在检验情绪调节困难量表（DERS；由 Gratz 和 Roemer 于 2004 年开发）在土耳其样本中的心理测量特性。为此，首先，通过对 338 名大学生的样本进行因子分析，排除了一个单独的项目后，得到了与原始量表相同的因子结构。在当前的土耳其样本中确认了量表的 6 因素结构后，通过内部一致性和重测信度系数检验了量表的整体和六个分量表的信度系数。这些可靠性分析表明了令人满意的系数。至于同时效度，考察了 DERS 及其分量表与心理困扰测量之间的相关性。总的来说，这些相关性较强，尽管 DERS 的意识因素与心理困扰的测量结果的相关性较弱。最后，在效标效度方面，DERS 的所有测量指标都能显著区分“高心理困扰”和“低心理困扰”的参与者；然而，对于意识分量表，效应量较小。这些发现与相关文献进行了讨论。
