A Measurement Study Of The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire

The purpose of this study was to investigate the measurement performance of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(ERQ).This study mainly includes three studies.Study 1: the revision of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(ERQ).Objective: This study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(ERQ)among Chinese adolescents.Methods: 2976 middle school students in Guizhou were selected for investigation,and classical measurement theory(CTT)was used for reliability and validity analysis.Study 2: Reliability generalization of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(ERQ).Objective:To clarify the reliability variation range of ERQ in each dimension,and to explore the variation source that may affect its reliability coefficient.Methods: Relevant studies were selected from China National Knowledge Infrastrut(CNKI),Wanfang database and CQVIP database,and the reliability coefficient values reported by these literatures were analyzed by reliability generalization.Study 3: Validity generalization of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire(ERQ).Objective: To clarify the correlation between various ERQ dimensions and anxiety and depression,and to explore the variation sources that may affect this relationship.Methods:The relevant terms were searched in CNKI journal database,Wanfang database and CQVIP database,and the correlation values reported by the articles that finally met the criteria were analyzed by validity generalization.In this study,programs such as Excel 2007,Stata /MP 13.0,Mplus 8.3and Comprehensive Meta Analysis Version 3.0 were used to carry out project Analysis,exploratory factor Analysis,confirmatory factor Analysis,multi-group confirmatory factor Analysis,criterion validity Analysis,internal consistency Analysis,reliability generalization Analysis,validity generalization Analysis and so on.The results show that:(1)The ERQ has good reliability and validity among Chinese adolescents,which supports the two-dimensional structure of the original questionnaire.(2)The reliability value of ERQ is easily affected by average age and sample type(students and non-students).(3)The two dimensions of ERQ were significantly correlated with anxiety and depression,respectively,and this relationship was easily affected by the test version,the nationality of the subjects,the health level of the subjects and the measurement.
