Abstract

The Behavioral Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (BERQ) is a self-report measure of the behavioral strategies individuals use to regulate emotions in response to stressful or negative events. The purpose of the present study was to report on the psychometric properties of the Turkish version. The sample was recruited through courses at a semi-private university in Turkey and through social-media announcements. A sample of 320 adults (81.9% females, 18.1% males) with a mean age of 22.03 (SD = 2.73) completed the Turkish translation of the BERQ, the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire, the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Questionnaire and the Brief Symptom Inventory. Exploratory factor analysis indicated that the Turkish version replicated the 5-factor structure of the original version; yet, a confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the original model showed an inadequate fit to the present data. Internal consistency coefficients of the subscales ranged between 0.72 and 0.88, and the test-retest reliability of subscales over a 3-week interval ranged from 0.51 to 0.70. As in the original version, we found that actively approaching and seeking social support were more adaptive strategies, whereas withdrawal and ignoring were less adaptive strategies. Results were mixed for the seeking distraction subscale. Additionally, withdrawal significantly predicted future depressive and anxiety symptoms. Overall, our results provide support for the Turkish version of the BERQ as a reliable and valid measure of behavioral emotion regulation strategies.

土耳其版行为情绪调节问卷(BERQ)的心理测量特征。
行为情绪调节问卷(BERQ)是对个体在面对压力或负面事件时调节情绪的行为策略的自我报告。本研究的目的是报告土耳其语版本的心理测量特性。这些样本是通过土耳其一所半私立大学的课程和社交媒体公告招募的。320名成人(女性81.9%,男性18.1%),平均年龄22.03岁(SD = 2.73),完成了BERQ、情绪调节问卷、情绪调节困难问卷和简要症状量表的土耳其语翻译。探索性因子分析表明,土耳其语版本复制了原版本的五因子结构;然而,验证性因素分析表明,原来的模型显示不适合目前的数据。量表的内部一致性系数在0.72 ~ 0.88之间,3周内的重测信度在0.51 ~ 0.70之间。与最初的版本一样,我们发现积极接近和寻求社会支持是更强的适应性策略,而退缩和忽视是更弱的适应性策略。寻求分心分量表的结果好坏参半。此外,戒断反应显著预测了未来的抑郁和焦虑症状。总的来说,我们的结果支持土耳其版的BERQ作为行为情绪调节策略的可靠和有效的测量。
