| Sumario: | Emotional self-regulation when confronted with sad events is essential in different stages of human development, especially when it comes to children and adolescents, as different self-regulation strategies can serve as protective factors against mental disorders such as depression. This article aims to present the revised version of the Emotional Self-Regulation Scale Child and Adolescent (EARE-IJ, Escala de Autorregulação Emocional-Infantojuvenil), an instrument for measuring emotional self-regulation strategies toward sad events, with the purpose of improving it, searching for validity evidence based on the internal structure and reliability indices. The instrument was answered by 299 children and adolescents, aged 10 to 16 years (M = 12.20; SD = 1.36), and different models of confirmatory factor analysis, reliability coefficients, and an invariance model for the sex variable were tested. The results provide accumulating evidence in favor of the instrument in its new version, now known as the Emotional Dysregulation Scale Child and Adolescent (EDEIJ, Escala de Desregulação Emocional Infantojuvenil). The results also indicate that the instrument can evaluate children and adolescents with different levels of emotional dysregulation, while demonstrating configural and metric invariance. In conclusion, it is found that the tool is efficient in screening emotional self-regulation strategies in children and adolescents. |
