Abstract

The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) (Gratz & Roemer 2004) is one of the most widely used measures to investigate individual differences in the ability to identify, accept and manage emotional experiences. This scale facilitates the understanding of the disorders underlying emotional dysregulation. However, its length may require a shorter version to create more flexible study protocols. The original scale has demonstrated good psychometric properties and has been shown to be a useful measurement instrument for emotion regulation. For this reason, i.e., to develop a short form, in Study 1, an Italian version of the DERS-36 (Sighinolfi et al., 2010) was administered to n = 520 subjects. Based on the strongest items from the six-factor structure, a 20-item form of the DERS was obtained, and reliability analysis showed good results both on scales and factors. In Study 2 , the DERS-20 was administered to n = 262 subjects who also completed the DERS-36, the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), the Positive And Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) to examine the construct validity. These findings replicate the good results of Study 1 and confirm the reliability and validity of the DERS-20 construction.

意大利人群中情绪调节困难量表(DERS-20)的发展:一项简短形式的情绪调节困难量表研究
情绪调节困难量表(DERS) (Gratz & Roemer 2004)是研究个体识别、接受和管理情绪体验能力差异的最广泛使用的测量方法之一。这个量表有助于理解潜在的情绪失调。然而,它的长度可能需要更短的版本,以创建更灵活的研究方案。原始量表显示出良好的心理测量特性,并已被证明是一种有用的情绪调节测量工具。出于这个原因,即为了开发一个简短的形式,在研究1中,对n = 520名受试者使用了意大利语版的DERS-36 (Sighinolfi et al., 2010)。根据六个因子结构中最强的项目,得到了一个20个项目的量表,信度分析结果表明,量表和因子都取得了较好的结果。在研究2中,对n = 262名被试进行了DERS-20,并完成了DERS-36、情绪调节问卷(ERQ)、积极和消极影响量表(PANAS)和多伦多述情障碍量表(TAS-20)来检验结构效度。这些结果重复了研究1的良好结果,证实了构建的信度和效度。
