Emotional dysregulation is a key symptom in participants with personality disorders. The Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) has been studied with nonclinical samples; however, it is necessary to confirm the factorial structure of the ERQ in participants with personality disorders. The aims of the present study were to confirm the factorial structure of the Spanish version of the ERQ and analyse its psychometric properties as well as the association between the ERQ and the Borderline Symptoms List (BSL-23) and the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). The overall sample was composed of 250 patients with personality disorders, of whom 195 met the criteria for borderline personality disorder. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. The two-factor model showed an acceptable fit, similar to the original structure, in the participants with personality disorders and with borderline personality disorder. Cognitive reappraisal was negatively correlated with the DERS and BSL-23, and expressive suppression was positively correlated with the BSL-23. The ERQ is a reliable and valid instrument to evaluate emotional dysregulation in participants with personality disorders and participants with borderline personality disorder.

人格障碍参与者情绪调节问卷的验证性因素分析和心理测量学特性

情绪失调是人格障碍参与者的一个关键症状。情绪调节问卷（ERQ）已经用非临床样本进行了研究；然而，有必要确认人格障碍参与者的 ERQ 的阶乘结构。本研究的目的是确认西班牙版 ERQ 的阶乘结构并分析其心理测量特性以及 ERQ 与边缘症状列表 (BSL-23) 和情绪调节困难量表之间的关联。 DERS）。整个样本由 250 名人格障碍患者组成，其中 195 名符合边缘型人格障碍的标准。进行了验证性因素分析。双因素模型显示出可接受的拟合，类似于原始结构，在患有人格障碍和边缘型人格障碍的参与者中。认知重评与DERS和BSL-23呈负相关，表达抑制与BSL-23呈正相关。ERQ 是一种可靠且有效的工具，用于评估人格障碍参与者和边缘型人格障碍参与者的情绪失调。
