The factor structure, reliability, and concurrent validity of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire were evaluated in a large clinical sample (N = 1,294). Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the previously supported two-factor solution distinguishing two emotion regulation strategies: cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. The total sample was randomly split into two subsamples to permit cross-validation of the confirmatory factor analysis solution (Ns = 633 and 661). Although the initial two-factor model revealed poor model fit, fit was acceptable after re-specifying the model to freely estimate a substantively interpretable correlated residual between items 1 and 3. Acceptable fit of the correlated residual model was replicated in the cross-validation subsample. Both factors had strong scale reliability. In support of its concurrent validity, Reappraisal was moderately (positively) correlated with a measure of mood repair (Trait Meta Mood Scale) and was more strongly associated with mood repair and neuroticism than with symptoms of anxiety or depression. Suppression was more strongly (negatively) correlated with extraversion than mood repair and most symptom measures, except for self-reported social anxiety. The current study extends the literature by demonstrating the favorable psychometric properties Emotion Regulation Questionnaire in a large clinical sample.

情绪调节问卷的因素结构、信度和同时效度在大量临床样本中进行了评估（N  = 1,294）。验证性因素分析用于测试先前支持的双因素解决方案，区分两种情绪调节策略：认知重评和表达抑制。总样本被随机分为两个子样本，以允许验证性因子分析解决方案的交叉验证（Ns  = 633 和 661）。尽管最初的双因素模型显示模型拟合度较差，但在重新指定模型以自由估计第 1 项和第 3 项之间可实质性解释的相关残差后，拟合度是可以接受的。相关残差模型的可接受拟合度在交叉验证子样本中得到了复制。两个因素均具有较强的量表信度。为了支持其同时有效性，重新评估与情绪修复测量（特质元情绪量表）呈中度（正）相关，并且与情绪修复和神经质的相关性比与焦虑或抑郁症状的相关性更强。与情绪修复和大多数症状测量（自我报告的社交焦虑除外）相比，压抑与外向性的相关性更强（负）。目前的研究通过在大型临床样本中展示情绪调节问卷的有利心理测量特性来扩展文献。
