Abstract

PEREZ-SANCHEZ, Jennifer; DELGADO, Ana R  and  PRIETO, Gerardo. Psychometric properties of the test scores most used in the assessment of emotion regulation. Pap. Psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.41, n.2, pp.116-124.  Epub Aug 02, 2021. ISSN 1886-1415.  https://dx.doi.org/10.23923/pap.psicol2020.2931.

The assessment of emotion regulation requires not only knowledge of the construct and the tests that evaluate it, but also of the quality of those instruments. The objective of this article is to analyze, using the Revised Test Evaluation Questionnaire, the psychometric properties of the two most commonly used tests in the evaluation of emotion regulation, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). We analyzed 653 articles describing studies in which these tests were used. Evidence of criterion validity differs between the two both qualitatively and quantitatively. The reliability expressed as internal consistency coefficients was positively evaluated in both tests. Given that most of the investigations used a methodology based on classical test theory, it is recommended to consider the study of the properties of these tests based on advanced psychometric models.

Keywords : DERS; Emotion regulation; ERQ; Psychometric properties; Systematic review.
