Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ)

The ERQ is a 10-item, self-administered, Likert scale questionnaire for adults that is designed to assess individual differences in the habitual use of two emotion regulation strategies: cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. Items are rated on a seven point scale: 1-Strongly Disagree, 4-Neutral, 7-Strongly Agree. The questionnaire provides scores for reappraisal and suppression.
