The causal relationship between emotional outbursts and emotion dysregulation is proposed to be heterogeneous, but cultural influences have not been considered despite established cultural differences in emotional processes (e.g., increased motivation to suppress emotions in interdependent cultures). Responses to the Brazilian Portuguese version of the Emotional Outburst Questionnaire were collected from 327 caregivers of young people (6-25 years) with autism spectrum disorder, Down's syndrome, or intellectual disability. Responses were compared to a previous sample of 268 responses from the English version of the questionnaire. The latent factor structure of the contextual items was measurement invariant across both versions. The Brazilian responses were classified into three distinct clusters (Sensory Sensitivity; Perceived Safety; Perceived Unsafety) which considerably overlapped with the English clusters.
情绪爆发与情绪调节障碍之间的因果关系被认为是异质的，但尽管在情感过程中存在既定的文化差异（例如，在相互依存的文化中增加了抑制情绪的动机），文化影响尚未得到考虑。从自闭症谱系障碍、唐氏综合征或智力残疾的年轻人（6-25 岁）的 327 名照顾者那里收集了对巴西葡萄牙语版情绪爆发问卷的回应。将这些回应与之前英文版问卷的 268 个回应样本进行了比较。语境项目的潜在因子结构在两个版本中都是可测不变的。巴西的反应被分为三个不同的聚类（感官敏感性；感知安全性；感知不安全），这与英语聚类有很大的重叠。
