Psychometric Properties of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) and Its Short Forms in Adults With Emotional Disorders

Abstract: Objective: The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) is a widely used self-report measure of subjective emotion ability, as defined by a prominent clinically derived model of emotion regulation (Gratz and Roemer, 2004). Although the DERS is often used in treatment and research settings for adults with emotional (i.e., anxiety, mood, obsessive-compulsive, or trauma-related) disorders, its psychometric properties are not well-characterized in this population.Method: We examined the psychometric propert… Show more

“…Along with the cognitive mechanisms leading to PFU, results from this study also confirm that Facebook users with difficulties in emotion regulation have higher levels of PFU (Hormes et al, 2014). For example, users experiencing emotional avoidance, lack of awareness and acceptance for their own emotional response, or poor impulse control (Hallion, Steinman, Tolin, & Diefenbach, 2018) may tend to modify their mood by using Facebook, thus maintaining the problematic behavior via negative reinforcement (Hormes et al, 2014).…”

“…The short-form version (DERS-16) (Bjureberg et al, 2016) assesses similar constructs (non-acceptance of negative emotions, inability to engage in goal-directed behaviours when distressed, difficulties controlling impulsive behaviours when distressed, limited access to emotion regulation strategies perceived as effective, lack of emotional clarity). In a large transdiagnostic sample of treatment-seeking adults with emotional disorders (including BD), DERS-16 scores showed strong concordance with the original measure (Hallion et al, 2018). The measure has excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.92) and good test-retest reliability (Bjureberg et al, 2016).…”

“…Results showed good fit for the bifactor model including the original six factors, with a modification that prohibited items from the Awareness subscale from loading on the general factor but allowing the factor Awareness to be correlated with the Clarity subscale (Osborne et al 2017). Support for a bifactor solution was replicated by Hallion et al (2018) using CFA in a study of 427 adults with emotional disorders. However, unlike the study by Osborne et al (2017), Hallion et al (2018) found support for a five-factor bifactor solution that excluded the subscale Awareness altogether.…”

“…While the factor structure of the DERS-36 has been examined in non-clinical samples, only a handful of studies have examined the factor structure in clinical populations (Fowler et al 2014;Hallion et al 2018;Osborne et al 2017;Perez et al 2012;Wolz et al 2015). Perez et al (2012) investigated the factor structure of DERS-36 in a sample of 218 adolescents with nonsuicidal self-injury.…”
