Emotion dysregulation is associated with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and confers risk for behavior problems and functional impairment; however, there is little guidance on best practices for measurement in adolescents. We developed a parent-report version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS-P). Evidence of reliability and validity was evaluated in a large community online sample (Study 1: = 978; = 13.52 years; = 1.93) and in two samples of adolescents with ADHD (Study 2, Sample 1: = 78; = 12.12 years, = 0.91; Sample 2: = 206; = 15.35 years; = 0.85). A four-factor solution of the DERS-P was obtained in Study 1 and confirmed in Study 2, with factors demonstrating acceptable internal consistency. The community sample was generally rated as less dysregulated than the ADHD samples. Support was obtained for convergent, concurrent, and incremental validity evidence. These findings provide preliminary evidence for the DERS-P as a psychometrically sound parent-report measure of emotion dysregulation in 11- to 17-year-old adolescents.
情绪调节障碍与注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）有关，并增加了行为问题和功能障碍的风险；然而，对于青少年的测量，几乎没有最佳实践的指导。我们开发了一种父母报告的情绪调节困难量表（DERS-P）的版本。在一个大型的社区在线样本中（研究 1：n=978；年龄=13.52 岁；=1.93）和两个 ADHD 青少年样本中（研究 2，样本 1：n=78；年龄=12.12 岁，=0.91；样本 2：n=206；年龄=15.35 岁；=0.85），对其信度和效度进行了评估。在研究 1 中获得了 DERS-P 的四因素解决方案，并在研究 2 中得到了验证，各因素表现出可接受的内部一致性。一般来说，社区样本的情绪调节能力比 ADHD 样本的评分要低。还获得了聚合、同时和增量有效性证据的支持。这些发现为 DERS-P 作为一种心理测量可靠的父母报告工具，用于评估 11 至 17 岁青少年的情绪调节障碍提供了初步证据。
