先前的研究已经研究了情绪和精神病理学的各个方面之间的关系，最近的大量工作强调了情绪调节策略的重要性。对情绪反应性的研究关注较少。本研究报告的情绪反应量表（ERS）的发展和评估，情绪敏感性，强度和持久性的21项自我报告措施，在87名青少年和年轻人的样本。因子分析揭示了一个单一的因素的情绪反应最好的特点的数据。ERS表现出很强的内部一致性（α = 0.94），收敛和发散的有效性，通过与行为抑制/激活和气质的关系，以及标准相关的有效性，通过与特定类型的精神病理学和自我伤害的想法和行为（SITB）的关联来测量。此外，情绪反应性在统计学上介导了精神病理学和抑郁症之间的关系。这些发现为ERS提供了初步的支持，并表明情绪反应的增加可能有助于解释精神病理学和STB之间的联系。
Prior research has examined the relations between various facets of emotion and psychopathology, with a great deal of recent work highlighting the importance of emotion regulation strategies. Much less attention has been given to the examination of emotion reactivity. This study reports on the development and evaluation of the Emotion Reactivity Scale (ERS), a 21-item self-report measure of emotion sensitivity, intensity, and persistence, among a sample of 87 adolescents and young adults. Factor analysis revealed a single factor of emotion reactivity best characterized the data. The ERS showed strong internal consistency (alpha=.94), convergent and divergent validity via relations with behavioral inhibition/activation and temperament, and criterion-related validity as measured by associations with specific types of psychopathology and self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITB). Moreover, emotion reactivity statistically mediated the relation between psychopathology and SUB. These findings provide preliminary support for the ERS and suggest that increased emotion reactivity may help explain the association between psychopathology and SITB.
