The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) is a 10-item self-report measure of 2 emotion regulation strategies, cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. It widely used regulation, but its factor structure has rarely been examined outside university student samples, some authors have recently questioned factorial validity in general community samples. In this study, we examine the psychometric properties ERQ (original English version) 3 Australian samples (N = 300, 400, 348)....
Background/Objectives: The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) is a 10-item self-report measure of two emotion regulation strategies, cognitive reappraisal (CR) and expressive suppression (ES). This study aimed to (1) examine the latent structure Polish version ERQ, (2) use it explore different profiles strategy their links with mental health outcomes. Methods: Our sample was 1197 Polish-speaking adults from general community in Poland. Results: A factor analysis showed that ERQ had...
People's beliefs about emotions may be grouped into two main categories: the controllability of and usefulness emotions. These influence emotion regulation efforts mental health, so assessment these is important. However, few psychometric measures are available, particularly for assessing dimension. In this study (N = 161), we address issue by developing conducting an initial validation a 16-item self-report measure called Emotion Beliefs Questionnaire (EBQ). Confirmatory factor analyses...
There is ongoing uncertainty about the structure and definition of alexithymia. Conceptually, alexithymia has traditionally been defined as a multidimensional trait with four components: difficulty identifying feelings, describing externally orientated thinking, fantasizing. However, some authors suggest that fantasizing might not be component, others low emotional reactivity fifth component. In this study, we sought to clarify issue using factor analysis.In sample adults (N = 508),...
Since the 1970s, psychoanalytic conceptualizations of alexithymia have defined trait as having four core facets: difficulties identifying feelings (DIF), describing (DDF), externally orientated thinking (EOT), and constricted imaginal processes. However, there is ongoing controversy about whether processes are actually a facet alexithymia, which (if any) specific aspects daydreaming/fantasizing activity might be impaired. In this study, we address foundational issue by using factor analysis...
Alexithymia is an important transdiagnostic risk factor for emotion-based psychopathologies. However, it remains unclear whether alexithymia questionnaires actually measure alexithymia, or they emotional distress. Our aim here was to address this discriminant validity concern via exploratory analysis (EFA) of the 20-item Toronto Scale (TAS-20) and Perth Questionnaire (PAQ).
Alexithymia is a multidimensional trait comprised of difficulties identifying feelings, describing and externally orientated thinking. It regarded as an important risk factor for emotional disorders, but there are presently limited data on each specific facet alexithymia, or the extent to which deficits in processing negative emotions, positive both, important. In this study, we address these gaps by using Perth Questionnaire (PAQ) comprehensively examine relationships between alexithymia...
The Perth Emotional Reactivity Scale (PERS) is a newly developed 30-item self-report measure of emotional reactivity (affective style). PERS measures the typical ease activation, intensity, and duration one's responses, importantly does so for negative positive emotions separately. We examined psychometric properties in an adult community sample (N = 183). Confirmatory exploratory factor analyses supported capacity to separate factors, distinguish between aspects reactivity. All items had...
Alexithymia is a trait characterized by difficulties identifying feelings, describing and externally orientated thinking. It widely regarded as an important transdiagnostic risk factor for range of psychopathologies, including depressive anxiety disorders. Whilst several well-validated psychometric measures alexithymia exist, these are relatively lengthy, thus limiting their utility in time-pressured settings. In this paper, we address gap introducing validating brief 6-item version the...
The Perth Emotional Reactivity Scale (PERS) is a 30-item self-report measure of trait levels emotional reactivity. In this article, we examine the psychometric properties PERS subscale and composite scores in an adult community sample (N = 428), develop 18-item short form (PERS-S). PERS-S are designed to assess typical ease activation, intensity, duration one's responses, do so for positive negative emotions separately. Our confirmatory factor analyses supported that both had same...
Alexithymia refers to difficulties identifying feelings (DIF), describing (DDF), and externally orientated thinking (EOT). Originally conceptualized by American psychiatrists, some researchers have since questioned the validity application of this construct in Asian cultures. However, date, there is little empirical work formally assessing invariance alexithymia across Western The present study aimed help address gap, examining psychometric properties measurement two measures, Perth...
Empathy, the ability to infer and share others’ affective states, plays a vital role in social interactions. However, no existing scale comprehensively assesses empathy’s cognitive components across positive negative emotional valence domains. This article explores latent structure of empathy construct attempts remedy past measurement limitations by developing validating new 20-item self-report measure, Perth Empathy Scale (PES). In Study 1 ( N = 316), factor analyses revealed coherent...
