Resumo: Background: Emotion dysregulation is a unifier dimension of several psychopathological symptoms thus an instrument that measures it is needed. Objectives: To adapt to Portuguese the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and study its psychometric qualities. A second goal was to explore the association between DERS dimensions and specific types of psychopathology symptoms. Method: The original measure was translated to Portuguese and completed by a sample of 324 individuals who also completed the Brief Symptom Inventory. Results: The results show a very similar factor structure to the original measure: good testretest stability, very good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = ,93) and good external validity with BSI. The analysis performed with the subset of 115 individuals that composed the clinical sample showed that psychopathologic individuals present more difficulties in emotion regulation than normal individuals. Through the correlation analysis between the different DERS and BSI subscales, we found that the Strategies and Goals subscales present the highest level of association with all the psychopathological symptoms. Discussion: This may suggest that these two dimensions are present in various psychological disorders and could, therefore, be included in psychological interventions focused on emotion regulation skills.

Objectivos: Fazer a adaptação para o português da Escala de Dificuldades de Regulação Emocional e analisar as suas qualidades psicométricas. Um segundo objectivo do estudo era o de explorar a associação entre as dimensões da DERS e sintomas psicopatológicos específicos. Método: A escala original foi traduzida para o português e preenchida por uma amostra de 324 sujeitos que também preencheram o Inventário Breve de Sintomas. Resultados: Os resultados revelam uma estrutura factorial muito semelhante à da versão original, bons valores de estabilidade temporal, de consistência interna (Cronbach’s α = ,93) e bons níveis de validade externa com o BSI. A análise realizada com o subgrupo de 115 sujeitos que compuseram a amostra clínica revelou que os indivíduos com psicopatologia apresentam mais dificuldades de regulação emocional do que os indivíduos normais. Por meio da análise de correlação entre as diferentes subescalas da DERS e do BSI, verificamos que as subescalas Estratégias e Objectivos apresentam o valor mais elevado de associação com todos os sintomas psicopatológicos. Discussão: Esses resultados sugerem que essas duas dimensões são transversais às várias perturbações psicopatológicas e poderiam, por isso, ser incluídas em intervenções psicológicas focadas na capacidade de regulação emocional.Veritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaCoutinho, JoanaRibeiro, EugéniaRaquel FerreirinhaDias, Paulo2021-09-22T16:39:00Z20102010-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/35140eng0101-608310.1590/S0101-6083201000040000177957077889info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:40:39Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/35140Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:28:29.801251Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
