Emotion dysregulation is a multi-faceted, transdiagnostic construct, and its assessment is crucial for characterizing its role in the development, maintenance, and treatment of psychiatric problems. We developed the Brief Emotion Dysregulation Scale (BEDS) to capture four components of emotion dysregulation: , , , and . We examined factor structure and construct validity in four independent samples of college students ( = 1,485). We elected to treat as a separate index of problems associated with emotion dysregulation. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses did not support the reactivity subscale and instead supported a well-fitting two-factor solution for sensitivity and lability. Multi-group analyses demonstrated strong factorial invariance by gender. The resulting 12-item BEDS includes and subscales and a separate scale to indicate associated problems. Convergent correlations suggested good construct validity. This provides preliminary support for the BEDS as a brief transdiagnostic screening tool for emotion dysregulation and associated consequences.
情绪失调是一个多方面的、跨诊断的概念，对其进行评估对于明确其在精神疾病问题的发生、维持和治疗中的作用至关重要。我们开发了简短情绪失调量表（BEDS）来捕捉情绪失调的四个组成部分： ， ， 和 。我们在四个独立的大学生样本（n = 1485）中检验了因子结构和结构效度。我们选择将 作为与情绪失调相关问题的一个单独指标。探索性和验证性因子分析不支持反应性子量表，而是支持一个拟合良好的关于敏感性和易变性的双因子解决方案。多组分析表明该量表在性别上具有很强的因子不变性。最终得到的12项BEDS包括 和 子量表以及一个单独的 量表来指示相关问题。聚合相关性表明具有良好的结构效度。这为BEDS作为情绪失调及相关后果的简短跨诊断筛查工具提供了初步支持。
