| Sumario: | Psychometric validation of the emotional regulation questionnaire (ERQ-CA) in adolescent population. The concept of emotion regulation (ER) refers to the ability to perceive, assimilate, understand, and regulate emotions. Although ER is an eminently adaptive process, efforts to modify emotional states can be ineffective and even counterproductive and be part of the vulnerability and the symptoms of various mental disorders. Many research has pointed to adolescence as the most important developmental period for the acquisition of this skill. Given its importance, it is essential to have good assessment tools. The aim of this study was to determinate the psychometric properties of the “Emotion Regulation Questionnaire” (ERQ-CA) in Spanish adolescents. For this, 399 participants (178 boys and 221 girls) with a mean age of 15.27 completed the questionnaires ERQCA and “Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale” (DERS). Subsequently, the exploratory factor analysis, internal consistency and convergent validity analysis was performed. The results revealed that the factorial analysis showed a two-factor structure, the internal consistency for the subscales was not acceptable compared to values obtained in validations with adults and as for the convergent validity, correlation between the two instruments was small. The ERQ-CA shows low levels of reliability in adolescent population. For this reason, more research is needed to confirm the use of the questionnaire in this population. |
