“…In fact, parental invalidation was associated with other psychological variables not predicted by Biosocial Therory. For example Gill, Warburton, and Beath (2018) showed that parental invalidation was related to chronic worry, and Arnett, Roach, Elzy, and Jelsone-Swain ( 2019) founded an association with empathy.…”

Background/Objective: The Invalidating Childhood Environment Scale (ICES) is an instrument designed to assess retrospectively parental invalidation experience, according to Marsha Linehan’s definition of invalidation. The main aim of this paper is to determine the factorial structure of the ICES. Three factor structures: Standard Model, Reduced Model, and 2 Factor Model are examined. Also, the association between invalidating experience and borderline symptoms is studied. Method: Data from a non-clinical, volunteer sample of 274 adults was collected. Participants completed 4 surveys: Demographic surveys, Invalidating Childhood Environment Scale (ICES), Borderline Symptoms List (BSL 23), and Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI). Statistical analyses included confirmatory factor analysis and multiple linear regression. Results: The results of the analysis presented indicate that the ICES is a reliable instrument, and that the 2 Factor Model is good fit and allows for a broader understanding of invalidation and it’s qualities. The results of the linear regression analysis indicated a mild but significant association between invalidation and BPD symptoms. Internal consistency was acceptable for all levels. Conclusion: The outcome of this study shows that the ICES is a useful instrument that can be used to make progress in uncovering the role of childhood invalidation in BPD.

“…All studies were cross-sectional, with the exception of the one by Crystal (2017), which adopted a longitudinal design. Only two studies (Gill et al, 2018; Keng et al, 2019) used clinical samples, whereas all other studies recruited college or community participants. Specifically, Gill and colleagues (2018) recruited individuals with BPD traits who were currently engaged in therapy, whereas Keng and colleagues (2019) recruited psychiatric patients in a hospital setting…”

Childhood invalidation has been postulated to be implicated in the development of borderline personality disorder (BPD), according to the biosocial model. Despite its significance, most systematic reviews and meta-analyses have focused on examining the associations between extreme forms of invalidation, such as sexual abuse, and BPD. Nonetheless, individuals could experience mild-to-severe levels of parental invalidation, with or without abuse. This study examined the relationship between parental invalidation as an overall construct and BPD symptoms, synthesized across 21 studies (total N = 7,198). As most reviewed studies utilized retrospective self-report measures, the effect sizes derived pertained largely to the association between reported childhood parental invalidation and BPD symptoms. We conducted a multivariate meta-analysis to account for the dependence of multiple effect sizes obtained from a single study and to maintain precision in obtained effect sizes. Maternal, paternal, and overall parental invalidation were positively associated with BPD symptoms, with small-to-moderate effect sizes of .26, .23, and .25, respectively. The mean effect size of maternal invalidation was greater than that of paternal invalidation. We also investigated if the parental invalidation-BPD associations were moderated by child gender, age, and culture (degree of individualism). Only overall parental invalidation and BPD symptoms association was moderated by child's gender, with larger effect sizes found for samples with a greater proportion of males. Age and culture did not moderate the parental invalidation-BPD association. Risk of publication bias was low. Our findings provide support for the invalidating childhood environment component of the biosocial model.

“…The DERS has good test–retest reliability (ρ I = .88, p < . 01), internal consistency (α = .93–.94), and predictive validity of psychopathology in which emotional dysregulation plays a role (Gill, Warburton, & Beath, 2018; Gratz & Roemer, 2004, 2008).…”

“…Emotion regulation difficulties are associated with many clinical disorders, including borderline personality disorder (Gill & Warburton, 2014; Gill, Warburton, & Sweller, 2018; Salsman & Linehan, 2012; Sturrock & Mellor, 2014), eating disorders (Svaldi, Griepenstroh, Tuschen‐Caffier, & Ehring, 2012), anxiety disorders (Mennin, McLaughlin, & Flanagan, 2009), depression (Nickerson et al., 2015), and post‐traumatic stress disorder (Ehring & Quack, 2010; Nickerson et al., 2015). Perhaps the most widely used measure of the construct is the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS; Gratz & Roemer, 2004), a six‐factor self‐report measure of the construct.…”

Objectives. A widely used measure of emotion dysregulation, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), may insufficiently cover a number of potentially important aspects of emotional dysregulation. A new measure of emotional dysregulation, the Emotional Dysregulation Questionnaire (EDQ) was therefore developed based upon an eight-factor model of the construct.Design and Method. The DERS and the EDQ were administered to a community sample (N = 362; 183 female, 179 male), along with a number of measures of psychopathology associated with emotional dysregulation. The capacity of the EDQ and the DERS to account for the emotional dysregulation associated with these different types of psychopathology was then compared.Results. In several of the psychopathologies examined, the EDQ could account for more variation than the DERS, suggesting that it more comprehensively assessed the emotion regulation deficits associated with these issues. Conclusions.Results suggest the EDQ possesses several advantages relative to the DERS, allowing for a more comprehensive and accurate assessment of emotional dysregulation. Practitioner pointsEmotional dysregulation is a common component of many psychological disorders. The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale is one of the primary self-report measures used to asses these difficulties, however, concerns exist that it may not comprehensively assess the construct of emotional dysregulation. A new self-report measure of comparable length, the Emotional Dysregulation Questionnaire has been developed, with this new measure possessing several advantages relative to the DERS with regard to the assessment of emotional dysregulation. The use of this measure in clinical practice may more accurately identify the emotion regulation deficits present in clients.
