Invarianza factorial y temporal del Cuestionario de Regulación Emocional (ERQ)

Abstract

The Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ; Gross y John, 2003) is widely used to assess individual differences in reappraisal and suppression strategies of emotion regulation. The present study tests the factorial and temporal invariance of a Spanish adaptation of the ERQ on two samples of 1.980 participants aged 18-67 years. Psychometric properties, reliability, and factorial and temporal validity of the ERQ were calculated. Results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed the expected two-factor structure. Results also indicated adequate internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent and discriminant validity. As expected, reappraisal use was positively associated with positive emotion and negatively with negative emotion, whereas suppression use was negatively associated with positive emotion and positively with negative emotion. These findings suggest that the Spanish version of the ERQ is a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating strategies of emotion regulation in the Spanish-speaking population.Resumen: El Cuestionario de Regulación Emocional (ERQ; Gross y John, 2003) es ampliamente utilizado para evaluar las diferencias individuales en las estrategias de regulación emocional reevaluación y supresión. El presente estudio examina la invarianza factorial y temporal de una adaptación española del ERQ en dos muestras de 1.980 participantes de 18-67 años de edad. Examinamos su fiabilidad, y validez factorial y temporal. El análisis factorial confirmatorio reflejó una estructura de dos factores. También encontramos niveles adecuados de consistencia interna, fiabilidad test-retest, y validez convergente y discriminante. Como se esperaba, el uso de la reevaluación se asoció positivamente con las emociones positivas y negativamente con las emociones negativas, mientras que la supresión se asoció a un patrón opuesto. Estos datos sugieren que la versión española del ERQ es un instrumento válido y fiable para evaluar las estrategias de regulación emocional en población de habla española.

Venezuelan Forced Migration to Peru During Sociopolitical Crisis: an Analysis of Perceived Social Support and Emotion Regulation Strategies

“…Given the location in which the study was conducted, the survey was necessarily brief, and additional variables and data could not be collected. Both tools were selected for this research given their low quantity of items as well as their use in different studies in Latin America, having been identified with adequate psychometric properties in different samples (Gabardo-Martins et al 2017 ; Mosqueda Díaz et al 2015 ; Pineda et al 2018 ). The average duration for completing the questionnaire was about 15 to 20 min.…”

“…Firstly, emotional regulation was measured using Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) [41] adapted to Spanish adolescents by [42]. This mono-factorial scale comprises 10 items that express the degree of agreement or disagreement in reference to how the adolescent regulates its emotions in two main dimensions; cognitive reevaluation (six items) (e.g., "I control my emotions by changing the way I think about the situation I am in") and emotional suppression (four items) (e.g., "I keep my emotions to myself").…”

“…Existen diferencias individuales en la capacidad y forma de regular las emociones, siendo algunas más exitosas que otras (Pineda, Valiente, Chorot, Piqueras y Sandín, 2018). Las estrategias de regulación emocional que mayor apoyo empírico han recibido son la reevaluación cognitiva y la supresión expresiva (Navarro et al, 2018).…”
