Abstract

 

The purpose of this study is to develop a Turkish version of the cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (CERQ) short 18-item version. We translated and cross-culturally adapted the English version of the CERQ, and tested the reliability and factorial validity of the Turkish version (CERQ-TR). A sample of 317 Turkish university students completed the CERQ-TR. Following stepwise omission of the items with the highest ‘alpha if item deleted’ on the basis of reliability analyses results, short version of the CERQ-TR was constructed. Cronbach alpha reliability coefficients obtained from CERQ-TR short scale ranged from 0.63 to 0.74, and for the original scales, alpha is ranged from 0.65 to 0.78. Finally, confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) supported the original nine factor model. Goodness of fit statistics indicates that short form of CERQ-TR is acceptable.

 

Key words: Emotion regulation, cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (CERQ), 18-item short form.
