Abstract
In this study, we examined the psychometric properties of the Beliefs About Emotions Questionnaire (BAEQ; Manser et al., 2012) for university students. A total of 436 Turkish university students aged between 18 and 29 took part in the study. To test the criterion validity of the scale, the relationships of the BAEQ factors with each other and with dispositional/trait mindfulness, self-compassion, intra and interpersonal emotion regulation strategies, and mental health variables were examined. The results showed that the data set confirmed the proposed factor structure for BAEQ with some modifications. Confirmatory factor analyses revealed adequate fit to the data, the internal consistency coefficients showed good internal consistencies, and evidence for criterion validity was obtained. Overall, results revealed that 37-item BAEQ is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used by emotion regulation researchers, and mental health practitioners.
在本研究中,我们考察了情绪信念问卷(BAEQ;Manser et al., 2012)。共有436名年龄在18岁至29岁之间的土耳其大学生参加了这项研究。为检验本量表的效度,考察了各BAEQ因子之间的相互关系,以及与性格/特质正念、自我同情、内部和人际情绪调节策略、心理健康变量之间的关系。结果表明,该数据集与提出的BAEQ因子结构一致,并进行了一定的修改。验证性因子分析显示数据拟合良好,内部一致性系数显示出良好的内部一致性,获得了标准效度的证据。综上所述,37项BAEQ是一种有效、可靠的测量工具,可供情绪调节研究者和心理健康从业人员使用。
期刊介绍:
Cognition, Brain, Behavior. An Interdisciplinary Journal publishes contributions from all areas of cognitive science, focusing on disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to information processing and behavior analysis. We encourage contributions from the following domains: psychology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, linguistics, ethology, anthropology and philosophy of mind. The journal covers empirical studies and theoretical reviews that expand our understanding of cognitive, neural, and behavioral mechanisms. Both fundamental and applied studies are welcomed. On occasions, special issues will be covering particular themes, under the editorship of invited experts.
