Objective: Emotions and emotion regulation strategies (ERSs) have a determinant role in maintaining people’s mental health. The emotion focused regulation questionnaire (EFRQ) is a new process tool based on a process model that demonstrates a replicable structure consisting of five emotion-focused strategies (EFS) (distraction, brooding, acceptance, cognitive rethinking (reflection and reappraisal), rumination, and expressive suppression (ES). Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate the psychometric properties analysis of the EFRQ scale in Iranian society.
Methods: The current study was descriptive. The sample of the present study included 300 Iranian adults who were selected using the convenience sampling method. The Persian version of the scale was implemented along with the difficulties in emotion regulation scale (DERS) and emotion regulation questionnaire (ERQ). To check the validity of the ERQ, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and convergent and divergent validity were used by calculating the Pearson correlation. Cronbach’s α coefficient method was also used to check its reliability.
Results: The results of the CFA indicated the fit and desirability of the five-factor model. The significant correlations between this scale (EFRQ) and the DERS and ERQ confirmed the divergent and convergent validity of this scale. Internal consistency reliability (ICR) confirmed the EFRQ reliability with Cronbach’s α coefficients ranging from 0.83 to 0.85. Additionally, the values of Cronbach’s α coefficient and McDonald’s omega of all the factors of the new scale were higher than 0.7, which indicates the validity of this scale in Iranian society.
Conclusion: The psychometric properties analysis of the Persian EFRQ showed suitable results. This scale can be used to measure people’s adaptive and maladaptive coping strategies and also as a reliable scale in clinical or research projects.
