Adaptation of the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) in adult population of the City of Buenos Aires and the Greater Buenos Aires
Abstract
The present study consisted of the linguistic, conceptual, and metric adaptation of the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ; Gross & John, 2003). It is a self-report measure made up of 10 items that allow the evaluation of two Emotional Regulation strategies: cognitive re-evaluation (6 items) and expressive suppression (4 items). To carry out the adaptation, a direct translation of the questionnaire from English to Spanish was performed, followed by an expert judgment procedure and a reagent discrimination analysis. Then, a factor structure of this version was analyzed with confirmatory factor analyses in a sample composed of 250 adults between 18 and 63 years (M = 32.28, SD = 11.74), residents from Buenos Aires City and Greater Buenos Aires. Finally, evidence of the reliability of the instrument was sought and normative values were established. The results indicate that the adapted version of the ERQ presents adequate content validity (percentages of agreement between .80 and 1), adequate factorial validity for the model of two independent factors S-Bc2 (27) = 61.98, NNFI = .91; CFI = .93; RMSEA (.05 - .10) = .07, AIC = 7.98, showing acceptable internal consistency indices (α ordinal = .81 and ω ordinal = .87 for the cognitive reappraisal factor; and α ordinal = .71 and ω ordinal = .79 for the expressive suppression factor.
