Entwicklung und Validierung eines Fragebogens zur emotionsspezifischen Selbsteinschätzung emotionaler Kompetenzen (SEK-ES)

Published Online:January 15, 2013https://doi.org/10.1026/0012-1924/a000079

Abstract

Zahlreiche Studien belegen die Relevanz von Emotionsregulationskompetenzen für die psychische Gesundheit. Problematisch ist jedoch, dass viele dieser Studien Selbsteinschätzungsmaße verwenden, die Kompetenzen im Umgang mit Emotionen oder Stimmungen im Allgemeinen zu erfassen suchen. Dadurch bleibt unklar, auf welche Emotionen sich die Probanden beim Ausfüllen beziehen und inwieweit Bewältigungskompetenzen über verschiedene Emotionen hinweg differieren. Ziel der Studie ist daher die Entwicklung und Validierung eines Fragebogens zur ökonomischen Selbsteinschätzung von sowohl emotionsübergreifenden als auch emotionsspezifischen Bewältigungskompetenzen. Auf Basis des emotionsunspezifischen SEK-27 (Berking & Znoj, 2008) wurde ein Fragebogen zur emotionsspezifischen Selbsteinschätzung des konstruktiven Umgangs mit Stress, Angst, Ärger, Traurigkeit und depressiver Stimmung entwickelt (SEK-ES). Mit Hilfe einer nicht-klinischen (N = 358) und einer klinischen Stichprobe (N = 579) wurden Itemkennwerte, Reliabilität, Validität sowie Veränderungssensitivität des SEK-ES bestimmt. Die Befunde sprechen für gute bis sehr gute psychometrische Eigenschaften des Instrumentes und für die Notwendigkeit, emotionale Kompetenzen emotionsspezifisch zu erfassen.


Development and validation of a self-report instrument for the assessment of emotion-specific regulation skills (ERSQ-ES)

Numerous studies demonstrate the importance of emotion regulation skills for mental health. Unfortunately, many of these studies rely on self-report measures assessing ways of coping with emotions or mood states in general. Thus, it remains unclear which emotions participants refer to when completing these measures and whether skill level varies across specific emotional states. The aim of the present study is the development and validation of a questionnaire that allows an economic assessment of both emotion-specific and general emotion regulation skills. Based on the general emotion regulation skills questionnaire (ERSQ-27; Berking & Znoj, 2008) we developed an emotion-specific instrument (ERSQ-ES) to assess adaptive ways of coping with general distress, anxiety, anger, sadness, and depressed mood. Item characteristics, reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change of the ERSQ-ES were investigated in a nonclinical (N = 358) and a clinical sample (N = 579). Findings suggest good-to-very-good psychometric properties of the ERSQ-ES and demonstrate the need to systematically assess emotion regulation skills for specific emotions.
