Abstract
Introduction
Emotion regulation is thought to develop significantly during adolescence. However, there is no appropriate measure to cover the whole period, from early to late adolescents.
Objective
This study reports the validation of the CESAER-A, a measure of emotion regulation that specifically targets early to late adolescents in a context-specific (social interaction at school) and emotion-specific (anger, sadness, fear) approach.
Method
The CESEAR-A was administered to a sample of 1,527 adolescents (51% girls) aged between 11 and 19 (M = 13.97, SD = 2.19).
Results
Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that a three-factor model provided the best fit to the data, whatever the emotion considered. It consisted of inhibition, adaptive regulation and dysregulation. Measurement invariance was also established across gender and age groups (early, middle and late adolescents).
Conclusion
The CESEAR-A appears to be a relevant measure for transversal and longitudinal studies of emotion regulation over the full range of adolescence. We discuss its practical implications and make suggestions for future research on emotion regulation based on a context- and emotion-specific approach.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Revue européenne de Psychologie appliquée / European Review of Applied Psychology is to promote high-quality applications of psychology to all areas of specialization, and to foster exchange among researchers and professionals. Its policy is to attract a wide range of contributions, including empirical research, overviews of target issues, case studies, descriptions of instruments for research and diagnosis, and theoretical work related to applied psychology. In all cases, authors will refer to published and verificable facts, whether established in the study being reported or in earlier publications.
