“…Moreover, the higher score means that the person uses the strategy more frequently in response to a negative event. CERQ has been validated for different languages and populations, for instance: adolescents aged 14–18 [ 53 ] and older aged adults 65–90 [ 54 ] in Spanish, university students in Brazilian [ 55 ], and adults with recurrent depression [ 56 ]. All of them have proved that the CERQ is a valid and reliable tool for assessing cognitive emotion regulation strategies.…”

Childhood trauma and current depression among Chinese university students: a moderated mediation model of cognitive emotion regulation strategies and neuroticism

et al. 2022

Background Childhood trauma (CT) is considered as a highly risk factor for depression. Although the pathway of CT to depression, especially the mediating or moderating effects of cognitive emotion regulation strategies (CERS) or neuroticism, have investigated by several studies, the results were inconsistent and there is a paucity of full models among these interactive factors. This study aims to examine the relationships among CT, adaptive / maladaptive CERS, neuroticism, and current depression symptoms in university students. Methods We recruited 3009 freshman of 2019, aged averagely 18.00 (SD = 0.772) years, from universities in Hunan province in 2019. A moderated mediation model was built to examine the relationships among CT, CERS, neuroticism, and current depression using the SPSS PROCESS 3.5 macro. We conducted bootstrapping of regression estimates with 5000 samples and 95% confidence interval. Results Results revealed that the significant mediating effects of adaptive CERS (β = 0.012; 95% CI: 0.006 to 0.018) and maladaptive CERS (β = 0.028; 95% CI: 0.016 to 0.040) between CT and depression were observed, accounting for 5.69% and 13.52% of the total effect respectively. Then, moderated mediation analyses results showed that neuroticism simultaneously moderated the direct effect of CT on current depression (β = 0.035; 95% CI: 0.001 to 0.009), and the indirect effects of CT on current depression through adaptive CERS (adaptive CERS – current depression: β = − 0.034; 95% CI: − 0.007 to − 0.001) and maladaptive CERS (maladaptive CERS – current depression: β = 0.157; 95% CI: 0.017 to 0.025). However, the moderating effects of neuroticism in the indirect paths from CT to adaptive CERS (β = 0.037; 95% CI: 0.000 to 0.014) and maladaptive CERS (β = − 0.001; 95% CI: − 0.006 to 0.005) were not significant. Conclusions This study provides powerful evidences through a large university students sample for the mediating role of adaptive / maladaptive CERS and the moderating role of neuroticism between CT and current depression. This manifests that cognitive emotion regulation may be a vital factor for people who suffered from CT and current depression. Furthermore, the influence of neuroticism in this process cannot be ignored.

Este projeto atende à demanda de estudar alternativas de resposta ao fenômeno prevalente e importante da violência urbana. A partir de estratégias em diferentes níveis-capacitação e intervenção em crise-busca-se esclarecer como melhor auxiliar vítimas de eventos traumáticos. No Rio Grande do Sul, o período de 2014 a 2017 foi marcado por um aumento histórico nos índices de violência, o que colocou a capital Porto Alegre no Ranking das 50 cidades mais violentas do mundo. Nesse período, 22% dos porto-alegrenses já perderam um familiar por homicídio e a letalidade da polícia cresceu 45% [1]. Indivíduos em zonas com maior e recorrente exposição à violência urbana estão em risco elevado para o desenvolvimento de psicopatologias incapacitantes. Portanto, é crucial que existam estratégias de intervenção que possam prevenir o desenvolvimento desses transtornos, auxiliando indivíduos nos primeiros momentos após um trauma. Os Primeiros Socorros Psicológicos (PSP) podem ser aplicados por qualquer profissional ou voluntário que tenha sido treinado. Foram desenvolvidos como uma intervenção de apoio psicossocial para prover necessidades básicas e reduzir o estresse inicial causado por eventos traumáticos, de forma a facilitar o processo de recuperação. Assim, eles têm como objetivos principais conectar as pessoas aumentando seu suporte social, promover bem-estar físico e emocional, acalmar e orientar de maneira empática e não-intrusiva, oferecer informações importantes que auxiliem a lidar com os aspectos psicológicos do evento traumático e apoiar respostas adaptativas [2][3]. Trata-se de uma intervenção que se enquadra nas necessidades de contextos com muitas vítimas e poucos recursos de atendimentos disponíveis-como ocorre em muitos contextos brasileiros. Portanto, o presente projeto busca estudar a eficácia de uma intervenção em crise cientificamente informada, os PSP, na redução de sintomas póstraumáticos e de depressão e no aumento da percepção de suporte social. Além disso, profissionais de saúde serão treinados para prover os PSP, e será verificada a eficácia deste treinamento em aumentar seus conhecimentos sobre trauma e intervenção em crise e a sua confiança para realizar PSP. O treinamento ocorrerá periodicamente com os representantes de instituições de saúde. Cada treinamento contará com 10 a 20 profissionais, com duração de 4 horas e incluindo explanação teórica e prática simulada. Além disso, serão coletados dados em intervenções de PSP realizadas com sobreviventes de eventos de violência urbana. Após o momento de intervenção inicial, há o contato por e-mail em 2 ou 3 dias como parte dos PSP, quando será proposta a participação voluntária na pesquisa. Serão aplicados os instrumentos PCL-5, CERQ e ESSS. Será disponibilizado espaço para que o participante comente sobre a influência específica de cada técnica na sua recuperação. Posteriormente, será feito contato por e-mail com os mesmos indivíduos para a realização de

Psychometric Properties of the Spanish Version of the Cognitive Emotional Regulation Difficulties Questionnaire (CERQ) in Higher Education Students in Times of Covid-19

et al. 2021

The Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) is an instrument developed to assess the cognitive strategies of emotional regulation used by people after experiencing a negative event. The present study aimed to validate the Spanish version of the CERQ in students of the University of Granada (Spain) during the Covid-19 homebound. An online scale was developed and applied based on the Spanish version of the CERQ-S36, consisting of 36 items structured around nine cognitive strategies. Using a mixed sampling, the scale was applied to 450 students from different degree programmes. Regarding the psychometric results of the scale, firstly, in relation to reliability as internal consistency, we found that the scale applied to University students in a Covid-19 setting is highly stable. Secondly, in reference to concurrent criterion validity, we can conclude that the items individually measure the same as the total scale (taken as internal criterion), and thirdly and finally, in relation to construct validation, the two factor analyses implemented, one exploratory and the other confirmatory in nature, conform a factor structure of latent dimensions identical to the original one. In conclusion, the results obtained as a whole suggest that the CERQ-S36 scale could be useful for assessing cognitive coping in University populations in times of crisis. In situations such as the current global emergency due to the presence of Covid-19, the scale is useful for understanding emotional regulation strategies. More studies should be carried out with this scale to find out how emotions influence and what consequences they have on the health and psychological functioning of University students in times of social crisis.

Psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire

Abstract: The results obtained in this study are similar to the ones found previously, indicating that the Brazilian version of the CERQ is a valid and reliable tool for assessing cognitive emotion regulation strategies, but that grouping them according to their adaptability is not recommended.
