The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of an Italian version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS; Gratz & Roemer, 2004).
Three studies were completed. First, factorial structure, internal consistency, and concurrent validity of our Italian version of the DERS were examined with a sample of 323 students (77% female; mean age 25.6). Second, test-retest analyses were completed using a different sample of 61 students (80% female; mean age 24.7). Third, the scores produced by a small clinical sample of participants (N = 38; mean age = 24.2) affected by anorexia, binge eating disorder, or bulimia were compared to those of an age-matched, nonclinical female sample (N = 38; mean age = 24.7).
The factorial structure replicated quite well the six-factor structure proposed by Gratz and Roemer. The internal consistency and test-retest reliability were adequate and comparable to previous findings. The validity was good, as indicated by both the concurrent validity analysis and the clinical-nonclinical sample comparison.
These studies provide further support for the multidimensional model of emotion regulation postulated by Gratz and Roemer and strengthen the rationale for cross-cultural utilization of the DERS.
本研究旨在评估意大利版情绪调节困难量表（DERS；Gratz 和 Roemer，2004）的信度和效度。
进行了三项研究。首先，我们使用 323 名学生（77%为女性；平均年龄 25.6 岁）的样本检验了意大利版 DERS 的因子结构、内部一致性和同时效度。其次，使用另一批 61 名学生（80%为女性；平均年龄 24.7 岁）进行了测试-重测分析。第三，将患有厌食症、暴食症或贪食症的小临床样本参与者（N=38；平均年龄=24.2）的分数与年龄匹配的非临床女性样本（N=38；平均年龄=24.7）的分数进行了比较。
该量表的因子结构很好地复制了 Gratz 和 Roemer 提出的六因素结构。内部一致性和重测信度都很好，与之前的发现相当。有效性也很好，同时效度分析和临床-非临床样本比较都表明了这一点。
这些研究进一步支持了 Gratz 和 Roemer 提出的情绪调节多维模型，并为 DERS 的跨文化应用提供了更多依据。
