Emotion Regulation Scales (ERI)

The Emotion Regulation Inventory (ERI; developed by Roth et al., 2009) assesses the regulation of negative emotions. 

The ERI consists of the following three subscales: 

• Integration (six items, e.g., “Negative emotions can sometimes help me understand important things about myself”)
• Suppression (six items, e.g., “When I feel negative emotions, I almost always hide it so others won’t notice it”), and 
• Dysregulation (six items, e.g., “It is hard for me to control my negative emotions”). 

Items are rated on a 5-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (Completely disagree) to 5 (Completely agree).
