Abstract
VIZIOLIA, Nicolás Alejandro and PAGANO, Alejandro Emilio. Temporal Stability, Convergent and Incremental Validity of the Argentine Adult Version of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). Psychol. av. discip. [online]. 2022, vol.16, n.1, pp.71-81. Epub Nov 23, 2022. ISSN 1900-2386. https://doi.org/10.21500/19002386.5397.
Emotional Regulation (ER) has assumed relevance in clinical psychology. Its measurement requires appropriate instruments at a psychometric level. The convergent and incremental validity of the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) was examined in 224 people between 18 and 63 years old (M = 32.04; SD = 11.51), and temporal stability in 52 participants between 21 and 63 years old ( M = 30.46, SD = 10.65). The results indicated moderate temporal stability (.74) in the case of expressive suppression and good (.81) for cognitive reappraisal. Also convergent validity through positive associations between expressive suppression and depressive and anxiogenic symptomatology. Cognitive reappraisal was negatively associated with depressive symptomatology, but not with anxiety. Hierarchical multiple regression evidence of incremental validity on depressive symptomatology was obtained (adjusted R2 = .44; p < .001). In conclusion, this research obtained new evidence about the psychometric properties of the Argentine version of the ERQ. Specifically, about its temporal stability, its convergent validity and its incremental validity.
