“…To the authors' knowledge, this is the first time the ERQ-CA has been used in adults. The results of our study and those reported with the original ERQ show remarkable similarities (Olalde-Mathieu et al, 2022;Preece et al, 2021). However, the present version has the advantage of being simpler and easier to understand.…”

“…To quantify this, readability indices can be used, such as the Fernández-Huerta index, for which values of at least 70 are recommended (Ríos-Hernández, 2017). When this index is applied to the Spanish version of the ERQ (Olalde-Mathieu et al, 2022;Rodríguez-Carvajal et al, 2006), a value of 64.59 is obtained, which is considered "normal" but is below what is desired. In this situation, a possible alternative is the ERQ in its version for children and adolescents (ERQ-CA; Gullone & Taffe, 2012).…”

Background: The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) is the most widely used measure of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression, two core emotion regulation strategies. However, the original ERQ has complex wording, which may make it difficult for readers of lower educational levels. Objective: We aimed to examine the psychometric properties of a simplified version of the ERQ, initially designed for children and adolescents: the ERQ-CA. Method: A sample of 397 Mexican adults was studied (77.3% women, 22.7% men; mean age = 22.84). A confirmatory factor analysis, as well as a graded response model, were used to study the internal functioning of the instrument. In addition, its associations with three psychopathological variables (anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation) were examined. Results: A 9-item version of the ERQ-CA showed adequate fit (CFI = .95, RMSEA = .06), as well as good reliability (ωreappraisal = .76; ωsuppression = .75). Both subscales performed better at levels closer to the mean of their respective constructs. Finally, significant correlations were found between both subscales and the psychopathological variables. Conclusion: The 9-item ERQ-CA constitutes a promising alternative to measure cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression in the Mexican adult population.

“…Las dimensiones de las emociones pueden ser reguladas a través de diferentes estrategias como la reapreciación cognitiva y la supresión expresiva a fin de hacer más efectiva nuestra interacción social. La reapreciación cognitiva se refiere a la modificación de la intensidad de la reacción emocional; como estrategia de regulación, permite la adaptación al entorno social y ha mostrado una relación positiva con la empatía (Olalde- Mathieu et al, 2022a). Mientras que la supresión expresiva se considera una estrategia mal-adaptativa que ha mostrado una relación negativa con la empatía (Olalde- Mathieu et al, 2022a).…”

Si bien no hemos encontrado una relación entre el procesamiento emocional y la personalidad (Reyes-Aguilar & Barrios, 2016), en este estudio (Olalde- Mathieu et al, 2022a) sí detectamos una entre las estrategias de regulación emocional y la alexitimia como rasgo de personalidad caracterizado por dificultades en el reconocimiento y regulación emocional.…”

“…Subsequently, Cabello et al (2013) presented a new translation for Spaniards [ 21 ]. Other studies that have evaluated the psychometric properties of the scale in the Spanish language have been Navarro et al (2018) [ 22 ] and Gómez et al (2016) in Spaniard adolescents [ 15 ], Moreta et al (2021) in Ecuadorian university students [ 23 , 24 ], Olalde et al (2022) in Mexican adults [ 25 ] and Del Valle et al (2022) in Argentine university students [ 26 ]. In all these studies, a factorial structure of two independent factors was obtained; although in a different sample of Ecuadorian university students, Moreta et al (2022) detected a better fit in a bifactor model composed of a general factor and two specific factors [ 23 ].…”

The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) is widely used to assess the use of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression strategies to regulate negative emotions. The present study evaluates the psychometric properties, reliability and validity of a Chilean adaptation of the ERQ in a large sample of 1543 participants aged between 18 and 87 (38% male, 62% female). The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed the expected two-factor structure and factorial invariance in relation to gender. Results also indicated adequate internal consistency, test–retest reliability, convergent and predictive validity in predicting posttraumatic stress symptoms and posttraumatic growth six months after the first measurement in a subsample of students exposed to the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of reappraisal was positively associated with general well-being, whereas the use of suppression was positively associated with depressive symptomatology. In terms of posttraumatic consequences, the use of reappraisal was negatively associated with posttraumatic symptomatology and positively associated with posttraumatic growth six months later; in turn, suppression was positively associated with posttraumatic symptomatology and negatively associated with posttraumatic growth six months later. This study demonstrates that the ERQ is a valid and reliable instrument to measure emotional regulation strategies in Chilean adults.
