Psychometric Properties of a German Version of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Short Form (ERQ-S)
Abstract: The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Short Form (ERQ-S) may offer a psychometrically sound and time-efficient alternative to the original ERQ. We analyzed data of 315 participants from the community, as well as of 153 patients (forensic inpatients, patients with schizophrenia, and patients with alcohol use disorder). Our results support the reliability, factorial validity, and concurrent validity of the ERQ-S. With an additional English-speaking sample, we found metric measurement invariance of the ERQ-S. This provides researchers in German-speaking countries with a new, more economical measure of emotion regulation.
