Emotion Regulation Questionnaire

The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) is a tool used to assess how individuals manage and respond to their emotions. It measures two main strategies: cognitive reappraisal, which involves changing how you think about a situation to feel better, and expressive suppression, which is about hiding or reducing outward emotional expressions. By understanding these methods, the ERQ provides insights into how people typically handle their emotions, which can help in addressing emotional challenges and improving mental well-being. It's commonly used in psychological research and clinical settings to better understand emotional coping mechanisms.
