The Self-Expression Emotion Regulation in Art Therapy Scale (SERATS) was developed as art therapy lacked outcome measures that could be used to monitor the specific effects of art therapy. Although the SERATS showed good psychometric properties in earlier studies, it lacked convergent validity and thus construct validity.
To test the convergent validity of the SERATS correlation was examined with the EES (Emotional Expressivity Scale), Emotion Regulation Strategies for Artistic Creative Activities Scale (ERS-ACA) and Healthy-Unhealthy Music Scale (HUMS). Patients diagnosed with a Personality Disorder, and thus having self-regulation and emotion regulation problems (n = 179) and a healthy student population (n = 53) completed the questionnaires (N = 232).
The SERATS showed a high reliability and convergent validity in relation to the ERS-ACA approach strategies and self-development strategies in both patients and students and the HUMS healthy scale, in patients. Hence, what the SERATS measures is highly associated with emotion regulation strategies like acceptance, reappraisal, discharge and problem solving and with improving a sense of self including self-identity, increased self-esteem and improved agency as well as the healthy side of art making. Respondents rated the SERATS as relatively easy to complete compared to the other questionnaires.
The SERATS is a valid, useful and user-friendly tool for monitoring the effect of art therapy that is indicative of making art in a healthy way that serves positive emotion regulation and self-development.
自我表达情绪调节在艺术治疗量表（SERATS）是作为艺术治疗缺乏可以用来监测艺术治疗的具体效果的结果测量而开发的。尽管 SERATS 在早期研究中表现出良好的心理测量特性，但它缺乏收敛效度，因此也缺乏构念效度。
为了测试 SERATS 的收敛效度，用 EES（情绪表达量表）、艺术创造性活动情绪调节策略量表（ERS-ACA）和健康-不健康音乐量表（HUMS）对其进行了相关性检验。被诊断为人格障碍的患者，因此存在自我调节和情绪调节问题（n=179）和健康的学生群体（n=53）完成了问卷调查（n=232）。
SERATS 在患者和学生中与 ERS-ACA 的接近策略和自我发展策略以及与 HUMS 健康量表呈高度相关，具有较高的可靠性和收敛效度。因此，SERATS 所衡量的内容与接受、重新评估、释放和解决问题等情绪调节策略以及自我认同、自尊心提高和能动性提高以及艺术创作的健康方面高度相关。与其他问卷相比，受访者认为 SERATS 相对容易完成。
SERATS 是一种有效的、有用的和用户友好的工具，可以监测艺术治疗的效果，表明以健康的方式创作艺术可以促进积极的情绪调节和自我发展。
