Abstract
The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale DERS) is an instrument designed to assess emotional dysregulation. The current study sought to identify the consistency of DERS factors, and items relevance for each one of them. Participants were 251 students, 68% female, from a university in Bogotá-Colombia. This research assessed the DERS factors: (a) non-acceptance, (b) goals, (c) impulse, (d) strategies, (e) awareness, and (f) clarity. Factor Analysis found that the DERS items are gathered in two main factors rather than six, and data reduction demonstrated that only 15 of the 36 items in the original scale contributed significantly to factors variance. It is recommended extending the research to health contexts, and to clinical and non-clinical population in Colombia to validate the DERS and develop a total score for the scale.
