The development of the «emotion dysregulation» questionnaire
We present the “Emotion Dysregulation” questionnaire aimed at assessing the types of emotion dysregulation. The theoretic model of the questionnaire is based on two dimensions of emotion dysregulation: impulsivity/rigidity of affective reactions and cognitive distortions/deficits. The questionnaire consists of three scales: rumination, avoidance, and mentalization difficulties. The three-factor structure of the questionnaire was supported by confirmatory factor analysis. The research sample (N=210) consisted of high school students and working adults aged 15—45, 108 of the female and 102 male. The scales have adequate internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent and divergent validity. The questionnaire can be used for research purposes.
