Abstract

Antecedents Interpersonal emotional regulation (IER) is the deliberate attempt to influence others’ emotions. There is not enough research on IER in the context of romantic couples. Aim The aim of the present study was to develop and validate an instrument to assess couples’ IER and understanding its functioning at both an individual and dyadic level. Method Participants were 764 adults and 91 dyads. Three studies were carried out: first, to study the psychometric properties of the scale and its validity; second, to understand the functioning of the scale at a dyadic level; third, to analyse the predictive capacity of the instrument. Results Our 11-item scale has four factors: observe, ask, validate, and soothe feelings. These factors are doubly evaluated: as an agent (SIERC-A) and as a target (SIERC-B). The scale showed good psychometric properties and adequate internal consistency. It presents convergent validity with emotional competences, and divergent validity with emotional dysregulation and insecure attachment. At a dyadic level, there is an actor-partner effect of IER on couple adjustment. Finally, IER seems to predict relationship satisfaction, sexual satisfaction, and life satisfaction. Discussion This new instrument can be a useful tool for assessment and intervention in couple therapy and research.

西班牙人群夫妻人际情绪调节量表(SIERC)的开发与验证

前因人际情绪调节(IER)是指有意识地影响他人情绪的行为。在浪漫夫妻的背景下，对情感情感的研究还不够。目的本研究的目的是开发和验证一种工具来评估夫妇的情感关系，并了解其在个人和双元水平上的功能。方法764名成人和91对夫妇。本研究进行了三个方面的研究:一是研究量表的心理测量特性及其效度;第二，在二元层次上理解量表的功能;第三，分析仪器的预测能力。我们的11项量表有四个因素:观察、询问、验证和抚慰情感。这些因素被双重评估:作为制剂(SIERC-A)和作为靶标(SIERC-B)。该量表具有良好的心理测量性能和足够的内部一致性。其效度表现为与情绪能力相关的趋同效度，与情绪失调和不安全依恋相关的发散效度。在二元水平上，IER对夫妻调整存在行动者-伴侣效应。最后，IER似乎可以预测关系满意度、性满意度和生活满意度。该仪器可作为评估和干预夫妻治疗和研究的有效工具。
