“…In McVey’s [ 27 ] study, a bifactor model that exhibits a correlation between “Awareness” and “Clarity” provided the best fit compared to other models. Generally, the assessment of the DERS dimensionality is crucial due to the prevalence of using both total scores and scale scores in research as evidenced by Darmadi and Badayai [ 28 ], and Murad, Kamaluddin and Mohd Nasir [ 29 ]. This practice is both useful and frequently employed [ 21 ].…”

Objective The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale-18 (DERS-18) is an instrument used to measure deficits in emotion regulation. However, the instrument has not been adapted to Malaysians and has never been validated in the Malay language. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Malay version of DERS-18. Method The DERS-18 underwent forward-backward translation and assessment of face and content validity. Both Malay version of the DERS-18 and DASS-21 were completed by 701 adolescents (44.4% boys) aged 13 and 14 years old. To assess its dependability, a floor and ceiling effect evaluation and Cronbach’s analysis were both performed. A series of confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), bivariate correlation, and regression were performed to evaluate the construct and criterion validity, respectively. Results The Malay version of DERS-18, after excluding “Awareness”, indicated excellent reliability (Cronbach’s α = 0.93), and acceptable internal consistency for each subscale (range of α from 0.63 to 0.82). Floor or ceiling effects were observed at item level and subscale level, but not at total level. CFA results revealed that the Malay version of the DERS-18 bifactor model (excluding “Awareness”) portrayed the best construct validity (χ2/df = 2.673, RMSEA = 0.049, CFI = 0.977, TLI = 0.968) compared to a single factor, a correlated factor, and a higher-order factor model. The DERS-18 subscales (except “Awareness”) and DERS-18 total scores were significantly correlated with stress, anxiety, and depression in a positive direction (r ranged from 0.62 to 0.64, p < 0.01). The general factor of the DERS-18 and its specific factors (“Clarity”, “Goals”, and “Non-Acceptance”) significantly predicted the symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression (R2 ranged from 0.44 to 0.46, p < 0.001). Conclusion The Malay version of the DERS-18, excluding “Awareness”, possessed good reliability, construct validity, and criterion validity to assess emotion dysregulation among Malaysian adolescents.

“…Given their increased independence and new environmental demands, they require a particular need to cope and regulate themselves. Unable to cope with such challenges, adolescents have difficulties regulating their emotions (Darmadi & Badayai, 2021), experiencing internalizing symptoms (Durbeej et al, 2019) and risk of delinquent behaviors (Murad et al, 2020).…”

Parenting is a culturally specific task which is believed to influence the development of adolescents' emotion regulation. The present study aims to explore the parenting factors that are associated with emotion regulation among Asian adolescents. Employing the PRISMA guideline, this study conducted systematic research from Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed databases, covering articles that report on parenting factors associated with emotion regulation among Asian adolescents. Using the AXIS tool to appraise the quality of the articles, a total of 29 articles were selected. The thematic synthesis found that there are three major themes of parenting factors that influence Asian adolescents' emotion regulation, which are observational learning, parenting practices, and the emotional climate of the family. Specifically, parents' reaction, attachment, and parent-adolescent relationship were associated with both emotion regulation as well as emotion dysregulation. Positive parenting was observed to be associated with emotion regulation only, but negative parenting was related to emotion dysregulation. Studies found that attachment and parentadolescent relationship were unrelated to expressive suppression. Future studies need to examine the effects of observational learning, parental control, and parenting styles on adolescent's emotion regulation due to limited and inconsistent findings. This study will enlighten researchers on parenting factors that directly and indirectly shape the ways Asian adolescents regulate their emotions.

“…The ability to regulate emotions promotes healthy development by predicting life satisfaction [ 15 ], academic achievement [ 16 ], and adolescent resiliency [ 17 ]. However, an inability to regulate emotions, such as using maladaptive strategies or less awareness of emotional states, predicts depression [ 10 ], anxiety [ 18 ], suicidal ideation [ 19 ] sleep problems in adolescence [ 20 ], and aggressive behavior [ 21 ].…”

The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (ERQ-CA) has been translated and adapted globally. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Malay version of the ERQ-CA. The Malay version of the ERQ-CA underwent forward and back translation twice and was tested in two separate studies, Study 1 and Study 2, with 296 and 359 students aged between 13 and 14 years old, respectively. Cronbach’s alpha values were calculated, and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. The results from Study 1 demonstrate good internal consistency for cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. The results indicate a good factor loading for most of the items, but only one value of the goodness-of-fit met the criteria for a good fit. The results from Study 2 show improvements in the values of the goodness-of-fit that are comparable to previous studies, but there was a decrease in the factor loading scores. Overall, the Malay version of the ERQ-CA possesses acceptable reliability and validity. Further studies are required in the near future to develop a Malay version of the ERQ-CA that reasonably represents Malaysian adolescents.
