Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ)

The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) is a tool used to assess how people manage their emotions. It measures two main strategies: cognitive reappraisal (changing how you think about a situation to feel better) and expressive suppression (conscious control over showing emotions). The ERQ helps researchers and clinicians understand individuals’ emotional habits, which can impact mental health and social functioning. By identifying these strategies, interventions can be tailored to improve emotional regulation skills, promoting better overall well-being.
