Erfassung von Emotionsregulations- strategien - eine Übersicht

The article provides an overview of approaches to measuring emotion regulation strategies in children, youth, and adults. Self and external assessment procedures in children and adolescence and questionnaires for adults, for which a validated German-language translation exists, are considered separately and discussed in terms of quality and standards of psychometric quality criteria. Following methods of ecological momentary assessment are reviewed, which enables one to capture emotion regulatory processes in the natural environment and to take into account contextual factors. The paper concludes with the recommendation to use multimethod procedures for the assessment of emotion regulation strategies.
