Turkish Validity and Reliability Study of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Short Form
Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to adapt the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Short Form (ERQ-SF) to Turkish, and to investigate its psychometric properties.
Method: A total of 325 adults (255 females (78.5%) and 70 males (21.5%) between the ages of 18-58 (27.86±8.37), consisting of university students and community samples, participated in the study. To evaluate the test-retest reliability, 41 university students were administered the DDA-KF at five-week intervals, and for criterion-related validity, the DDA-KF, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, Perth Alexithymia Scale and Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale were administered to a community sample of 165 people, 142 (86.1%) women and 23 (13.9%) men, including university students.
Results: The Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the scale were .71 for the suppression dimension and .73 for the cognitive reappraisal dimension. According to the findings of the exploratory factor analysis, the scale was suitable for factor analysis and the scale items had high factor loadings ranging from .64 to .89, and the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fit indices of the two-factor model were good (X2/df =1.39, CFI=.98, TLI=.96, GFI=.97, AGFI=.94) in parallel with the original study.
Conclusion: The ERQ-SF demonstrates strong psychometric properties, making it a valid and reliable tool for assessing emotion regulation in Turkish samples for research purposes. Additionally, its concise six-item format ensures ease of administration.
