Abstract
The Multidimensional Scale of Emotion Regulation for Adolescents (MSERA) was initially developed to assess adolescents' emotion-regulation strategies in Mexican education contexts. Given the lack of instruments to measure adolescents' emotion-regulation strategies in Chinese educational settings, the current study adapted the English version of the scale to Chinese (C-MSERA) and provided initial validity evidence to support the use of the scale. The scale was translated into simplified Chinese. A sample of 1,798 Chinese adolescents reported their emotion-regulation strategies using the C-MSERA. Factor analysis supported the eight-factor structure of the C-MSERA, and the instrument's concurrent validity and internal consistency were also supported. The findings indicate that C-MSERA produces reliable and valid scores for measuring adolescents' emotion-regulation strategies in Chinese education settings.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Personality Assessment (JPA) primarily publishes articles dealing with the development, evaluation, refinement, and application of personality assessment methods. Desirable articles address empirical, theoretical, instructional, or professional aspects of using psychological tests, interview data, or the applied clinical assessment process. They also advance the measurement, description, or understanding of personality, psychopathology, and human behavior. JPA is broadly concerned with developing and using personality assessment methods in clinical, counseling, forensic, and health psychology settings; with the assessment process in applied clinical practice; with the assessment of people of all ages and cultures; and with both normal and abnormal personality functioning.
