This study aimed to validate a Chinese's adaption of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for children (CERQ-Ck). This self-report instrument evaluates nine cognitive emotion regulation strategies that can be used by children after experiencing a negative life event. The CERQ-Ck was evaluated in a sample of 1403 elementary students between the ages of 9 and 11 by using cluster sampling. All the item-correlation coefficients for CERQ-Ck were above 0.30. The internal consistencies of the nine factors suggested moderate reliability (0.66 to 0.73). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicated that the current version had the same structure as the original instrument (Tucker-Lewis index = 0.912, comparative fit index = 0.922, root mean square error of approximation = 0.032, standardized root mean square residual = 0.044). A second-order factor and a third-order factor structure were also found. Test-retest correlations (0.53 to 0.70, ps < 0.01) over a period of 1 month, which ranged from acceptable to moderately strong were obtained from a random and stratified subsample of elementary students (N = 76). In addition, we analyzed convergent validity in relation to CERQ-Ck and the Chinese version of the Children's Depression Inventory model dimensions with a subsample of 1083 elementary students. Multiple-group CFA confirmed the measurement invariance for both the male and female groups (ΔCFI < 0.01, ΔRMSEA < 0.015). Overall, results indicate that CERQ-Ck has similar psychometric properties to the original instrument as well as with adequate reliability and validity to investigate the nine cognitive emotion regulation strategies during late childhood developmental periods.
本研究旨在验证中文版儿童认知情绪调节问卷（CERQ-Ck）的适用性。该自陈式量表评估了儿童在经历负面生活事件后可采用的九种认知情绪调节策略。通过整群抽样，对1403名9至11岁的小学生样本进行了CERQ-Ck评估。CERQ-Ck所有项目的相关系数均高于0.30。九个因子的内部一致性表明具有中等信度（0.66至0.73）。验证性因子分析（CFA）表明，当前版本与原始量表结构相同（塔克-刘易斯指数=0.912，比较拟合指数=0.922，近似均方根误差=0.032，标准化均方根残差=0.044）。还发现了二阶因子和三阶因子结构。从随机分层抽取的小学生子样本（N = 76）中，获得了为期1个月的重测相关系数（0.53至0.70，p<0.01），范围从可接受至中等强度。此外，我们对1083名小学生子样本分析了CERQ-Ck与中文版儿童抑郁量表模型维度的收敛效度。多组CFA证实了男性和女性组的测量不变性（ΔCFI < 0.01，ΔRMSEA < 0.015）。总体而言，结果表明CERQ-Ck具有与原始量表相似的心理测量特性，以及足够的信度和效度，可用于研究童年晚期发育阶段的九种认知情绪调节策略。
