Adaptation of The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (ERQ-CA) into Turkish

Abstract

The objective of this study was to adapt the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (ERQ-CA) into the Turkish language. The study group consisted of 1048 students, 558 girls (53.2%) and 490 boys (48.8%), who were receiving education at four middle schools and four high schools in central districts of Adana province in years 2017 and 2018. Findings of the CFA revealed that the questionnaire had two dimensions, namely the reappraisal and suppression subscales. According to the fit indices and factor loads of the scale, there was good level of fit for the whole sample, both sexes and all age groups. Convergent validity of the questionnaire was evaluated for middle school students by use of the Children’s Depression Inventory, while the Quick Big Five Personality Test was applied for high school students for the same purpose. As a result of the test-retest reliability study performed in a three-week interval, the level of correlation between the first and the second tests was found to be .64 for the reappraisal subscale and .57 for the suppression subscale. On the other hand, the Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated to be .79 for the reappraisal subscale and .53 for the suppression subscale. Findings of the study were discussed based on the opinions and researches in the literature.

ÇOCUK VE ERGENLERDE DUYGU DÜZENLEME ÖLÇEĞİNİN TÜRKÇEYE UYARLANMASI

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Çocuk ve Ergenlerde Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeği-ÇEDDÖ’yü (Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents) Türkçeye uyarlamaktır. Çalışma grubunu Adana ilinin merkez ilçelerindeki ortaokul ve liselerde 2017-2018 yılları arasında öğrenim gören, 10-18 yaşlar arasındaki 1048 (558 kız ve 490 erkek) öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. DFA bulguları, ölçek yapısının, bu çalışmada yeniden değerlendirme ve bastırma şeklinde tanımlanan iki ayrı boyuttan oluştuğunu onaylamıştır. Uyum indeksleri ve faktör yükleri incelendiğinde, ölçeğin tüm örneklemde ve yaş ve cinsiyet gruplarında iyi uyum değerleri gösterdiği görülmektedir. Ölçeğin ölçüt bağıntı geçerliği ortaokul öğrencilerinde Çocuklar için Depresyon Ölçeği ve lise öğrencilerinde Hızlı Büyük Beşli Kişilik Testi aracılığıyla incelenmiştir. Üç hafta arayla yapılan test tekrar test güvenirliğine göre birinci ve ikinci ölçüm arasında yeniden değerlendirme alt ölçeği için .64, bastırma alt ölçeği için .57 düzeyinde ilişki bulunmuştur. Cronbach alfa iç tutarlık katsayısının ise, yeniden değerlendirme alt ölçeği için .79, bastırma alt ölçeği için .53 olduğu görülmektedir. Bulgular alan yazında ortaya konan görüş ve araştırmalar dikkate alınarak tartışılmıştır.
