Emotion dysregulation (ED) can be considered a psychopathological transdiagnostic dimension, the presence of which should be reliably screened in clinical settings. The aim of the current study was to validate the Italian version of the Emotion Dysregulation Scale-short (EDS-s), a brief self-report tool assessing emotion dysregulation, in a non-clinical sample of 1087 adults (768 women and 319 men). We also assessed its convergent validity with scales measuring binge eating and general psychopathology. Structural equation modeling suggested the fit of a one-factor model refined with correlations between the errors of three pairs of items (χ = 255.56, df = 51, < 0.001, RMSEA = 0.08, CFI = 0.94, TLI = 0.93, SRMR = 0.04). The EDS-s demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency (ordinal alpha = 0.94). Moreover, EDS-s scores partly explained the variance of both binge eating (0.35, < 0.001) and general psychopathology (0.60, < 0.001). In conclusion, the EDS-s can be considered to be a reliable and valid measure of ED.
情绪失调（ED）可以被认为是一种跨诊断的心理病理维度，其存在应在临床环境中得到可靠的筛查。本研究的目的是验证情绪失调量表简表（EDS-s）的意大利语版本，这是一种简短的自我报告工具，用于评估情绪失调，在 1087 名成年人（768 名女性和 319 名男性）的非临床样本中进行评估。我们还评估了它与暴食和一般精神病理学量表的聚合效度。结构方程模型表明，一个因素模型的拟合程度得到了改进，其中三对项目的误差之间存在相关性（χ=255.56，df=51，<0.001，RMSEA=0.08，CFI=0.94，TLI=0.93，SRMR=0.04）。EDS-s 表现出令人满意的内部一致性（有序 alpha=0.94）。此外，EDS-s 得分部分解释了暴食（0.35，<0.001）和一般精神病理学（0.60，<0.001）的方差。总之，EDS-s 可以被认为是一种可靠和有效的 ED 测量工具。
