Research summary
Emotion regulation has been established as an important concept in mental health research across a range of different diagnoses. There are numerous questionnaires used to measure emotion regulation but only one (the Perth Emotion Regulation Competency Inventory - PERCI)is based on the most recent and widely accepted model of emotion regulation (Gross 2018 - the extended process model of emotion regulation). This recently developed measure has not yet been extensively used or psychometrically tested in clinical populations. However, it may be more theoretically and psychometrically sound than other measures widely used in the research literature to date. An online survey including this measure with other relevant questionnaires will sample non-clinical and two specific clinical populations in order to explore the reliability, validity and utility of this measure. This will inform the ways in which emotion regulation competency is measured in future research and clinical practice.
