目的情绪调节失调是各种临床困难的病因和治疗的核心诊断因素。然而，这一领域的研究几乎完全集中在负面情绪引起的情绪失调上。本研究确认了情绪调节困难量表(DERS-P)的因素结构，并进一步检验了其信度和效度。方法研究一以229名大学生为研究对象(MAGE = 19.37岁；女性66.8%；白人67.2%)。结果支持了DERS-P的三因素结构，DERS-P量表的平均水平表现出收敛和区分效度，并区分了可能有创伤后应激障碍、抑郁、酗酒和药物使用障碍的个体。结论研究结果为DERS-P的因素结构、信度和效度提供了额外的支持，从而增加了它的临床实用性。
ObjectivesEmotion dysregulation is a transdiagnostic factor central to the etiology and treatment of various clinical difficulties. Yet, research in this area has focused almost exclusively on emotion dysregulation stemming from negative emotions. The current study confirmed the factor structure of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale‐Positive (DERS‐P) and further examined its reliability and validity.MethodParticipants in Study 1 were 229 college students (Mage = 19.37 years; 66.8% female; 67.2% White). Participants in Study 2 were 353 trauma‐exposed community individuals (Mage = 35.77 years; 57.8% female; 71.2% White).ResultsFindings supported the three‐factor structure of the DERS‐P. Mean levels of the DERS‐P scales demonstrated convergent and discriminant validity and differentiated individuals with (vs. without) probable posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, alcohol use, and drug use disorders.ConclusionsFindings provide additional support for the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the DERS‐P, thereby adding to its clinical utility.
