Dimensional Analysis of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS-15) in Mexican university students

The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) is an instrument of great interest in the fields of clinical and applied research. However, the study on its psychometric properties in Mexican population has been limited. The objective of this study was to analyse the dimensionality of DERS-15 in...

description The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) is an instrument of great interest in the fields of clinical and applied research. However, the study on its psychometric properties in Mexican population has been limited. The objective of this study was to analyse the dimensionality of DERS-15 in Mexican adult population, through an instrumental, cross-sectional design. 252 university students from the open and distance learning system participated, aged 18 to 57 (M = 31.8, SD = 8.96), selected by non-probabilistic intentional sampling. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, in which two factorial models were tested(two and six dimensions). A six-factor model demonstrated a better fit. The internal consistency and reliability of the entire scale were adequate (ωH = .80).

The internal consistency and reliability of the entire scale were adequate (ωH = .80). La Escala de Dificultades en la Regulación Emocional (DERS) es un instrumento de gran interés en el campo de la investigación clínica y aplicada. Sin embargo, el estudio sobre sus propiedades psicométricas en la población mexicana ha sido limitado. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar la dimensionalidad de la DERS-15 en la población adulta mexicana a través de un diseño transversal, instrumental. Participaron 252 estudiantes universitarios del sistema a distancia, de entre 18 y 57 años (M = 31.8, DE = 8.9) seleccionados mediante un muestreo no probabilístico, intencional. Se realizó un análisis factorial confirmatorio, y con ello se probaron dos modelos factoriales (de dos y seis dimensiones). Un modelo de seis factores presentó un mejor ajuste. La consistencia interna y la confiabilidad de la escala completa resultaron adecuadas (ωH = .80).
