Factor Structure and Initial Validation of a Multidimensional Measure of Difficulties in the Regulation of Positive Emotions: The DERS-Positive
Open accessAbstract
Emotion regulation difficulties are a transdiagnostic construct relevant to numerous clinical difficulties. Although the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) is a multidimensional measure of maladaptive ways of responding to emotions, it focuses on difficulties with the regulation of negative emotions and does not assess emotion dysregulation in the form of problematic responding to positive emotions. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a measure of clinically relevant difficulties in the regulation of positive emotions (DERS-Positive). Findings revealed a three-factor structure and supported the internal consistency and construct validity of the total and subscale scores.

In the citing paper
“Emerging research suggests that maladaptive affect regulation can impact the experience of positive emotions, with difficulties observed in processing and making sense of positive emotional experiences (e.g., non-acceptance of positive emotions, difficulties controlling impulsive behavior and goal-directed behavior in the presence of positive emotions; [13, 14]).”

“…use of ineffective emotion regulation strategies (e.g., suppression) to modulate positive emotions has been found to result in increased sympathetic nervous system activation (Gross & Levenson, 1997), suggesting that the modulation of positive emotions is cognitively taxing (Gross & John, 2003).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
