BACKGROUND The Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) is an instrument that assesses nine cognitive strategies to cope with negative situations. The aim of this study was to validate the CERQ for a sample of Spanish adolescents, to analyse reliability and validity, and to examine the factor structure by confirmatory factor analysis. METHOD The Spanish version of CERQ (CERQ-S) and other scales (gratitude, emotional intelligence, satisfaction with life, depression, anxiety and stress) were completed by 835 adolescents aged 14-18 (455 girls) from the South of Spain. RESULTS The results showed that the CERQ-S in adolescents (CERQ-SA) has appropriate psychometric properties with indexes of reliability a = .89 and w = .96, and the original nine-factor structure was confirmed. There was also significant correlation between the CERQ-SA and the other scales, showing evidence of convergent validity. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that the CERQ-SA could be useful for appraising cognitive coping in adolescents. This will help to expand the study and understanding of these strategies, their influence and their consequences for adolescents' psychological functioning and health.

验证了西班牙版的《青少年认知情绪调节问卷》。

背景技术认知情绪调节问卷（CERQ）是一种评估九种认知策略以应对负面情况的工具。这项研究的目的是验证西班牙青少年样本的CERQ，分析信度和效度，并通过验证性因子分析检查因子结构。方法西班牙南部的CERQ（CERQ-S）和其他量表（感谢，情绪智力，生活满意度，抑郁，焦虑和压力）由835名年龄在14-18岁的青少年（455名女孩）完成。结果结果表明，青少年的CERQ-S（CERQ-SA）具有适当的心理计量学特性，其信度指数a = .89和w = .96，并且证实了原始的9因子结构。CERQ-SA与其他量表之间也存在显着相关性，显示出收敛效度的证据。结论结果表明，CERQ-SA可能有助于评估青少年的认知应对能力。这将有助于扩大对这些策略及其对青少年心理功能和健康的影响及其后果的研究和理解。
