Psychometric properties of frequency and self-efficacy questionnaires of emotional regulation in Mexico
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Investigate the psychometric properties of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire Frequency (ERQ-FR) and Self-Efficacy (ERQ-SE) scales in a Mexican sample. Method: A non-experimental, ex post facto exploratory study was carried out to assess the internal consistency and validity of both questionnaires, 471 adults participated. Results: The analysis of the internal consistency of both scales showed acceptable reliability (ERQ-FR: Chronbach’s alpha =.71; and ERQ-SE Chronbach’s alpha=.87). An exploratory factor analysis found two factors that explained 56.0% of the variance in the ERQ-FR and 62.4% of the variance in the ERQ-SE. The confirmatory factor analysis showed acceptable indexes of adjustment and confirmed a two-factor structure for each scale, factor one was named cognitive reappraisal, and factor two was named expressive suppression. Conclusion: the ERQ-FR and ERQ-SE are instruments to assess frequency of use and perceived ability to implement cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression as emotion regulation strategies in the Mexican population.
