Investigating unique and shared aspects of measures of emotion regulation (ER) advances our understanding of ER as a multidimensional construct. This study aimed to investigate psychometric properties of three ER-measures: Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS-36), the abbreviated version DERS-16, and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ).
In a community sample (N = 843; 56% females) we investigated their internal consistency, factor structure, convergence, and association with symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress and substance abuse.
The proposed factor structures of the DERS-16 and the ERQ demonstrated an adequate fit. There were moderate correlations between the two DERS versions (36 and 16) and ERQ subscales Reappraisal and Suppression. Total scores of DERS-36 and DERS-16 demonstrated preferential associations with depression and anxiety. Corresponding associations between ERQ subscales and psychiatric symptoms were weak.
The results indicate that DERS-16 could be useful as an alternative, easily administered measure of ER difficulties.
探究情绪调节(ER)测量方法的独特之处和共同之处,有助于我们将ER理解为一个多维结构。本研究旨在探究三种ER测量方法的心理测量特性:情绪调节困难量表(DERS - 36)、简化版DERS - 16和情绪调节问卷(ERQ)。
在一个社区样本(N = 843;56%为女性)中,我们研究了它们的内部一致性、因子结构、收敛性以及与抑郁、焦虑、压力和药物滥用症状的关联。
DERS - 16和ERQ的拟议因子结构显示出良好的拟合度。两个DERS版本(36和16)与ERQ分量表“重新评价”和“抑制”之间存在中等程度的相关性。DERS - 36和DERS - 16的总分与抑郁和焦虑表现出优先关联。ERQ分量表与精神症状之间的相应关联较弱。
结果表明,DERS - 16可作为一种替代的、易于实施的ER困难测量方法。
