The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire

The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) is a tool used to assess how people manage their emotions. It focuses on two main strategies: reappraisal, which involves changing the way we think about a situation to alter its emotional impact, and suppression, which is about consciously trying to hide or ignore feelings. Researchers use the ERQ to better understand emotional responses and how they affect mental health. By identifying these strategies, it can help individuals recognize their emotional habits and improve their overall well-being.
