Abstract The aim of this paper was to obtain evidence of validity for the use of Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) in college students from Lima. The scale was administered to 345 students (male = 26.4%; women = 73.6%) of mean age 23.17 years. It was evaluated through confirmatory factor analysis the original nine-factor model. The found fit indices as well as a conceptual analysis of the findings suggested a re-specification, eliminate one item. After this procedure the model fit was improved, although it was observed the presence of strong covariances between factors. Likewise, internal consistency was assessed by coefficient alpha and coefficient omega, obtaining coefficients of moderate magnitude. Also, correlations were performed with measures of emotional exhaustion and psychological well-being in order to find external evidence of validity and found significant and consistent correlations in theoretical terms.. Thus it is confirmed that the CERQ has satisfactory psychometric properties for use in college students from Lima.

Keywords : Emotion regulation; CERQ; confirmatory factor analysis; internal consistency; college students.
