Abstract (English): Objective. Investigate the psychometric properties of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire Frequency (ERQ-FR) and Self-Efficacy (ERQ-SE) scales in a Mexican sample. Method. A non-experimental, ex post facto exploratory study was carried out to assess the internal consistency and validity of both questionnaires, 471 adults participated. Results. The analysis of the internal consistency of both scales showed acceptable reliability (ERQ-FR: Chronbach's alpha =.71; and ERQ-SE Chronbach's alpha = .87). An exploratory factor analysis found two factors that explained 56,0 % of the variance in the ERQ-FR and 62,4 % of the variance in the ERQ-SE. The confirmatory factor analysis showed acceptable indexes of adjustment and confirmed a two-factor structure for each scale, factor one was named cognitive reappraisal, and factor two was named expressive suppression. Conclusion. The ERQ-FR and ERQ-SE are instruments to assess frequency of use and perceived ability to implement cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression as emotion regulation strategies in the Mexican population.

Abstract (Spanish): Objetivo. Investigar las propiedades psicométricas de los cuestionarios de Regulación Emocional Frecuencia (ERQ-FR) y Autoeficacia (ERQ-SE) en una muestra mexicana. Método. Se realizó un estudio exploratorio no experimental, ex post facto, en el que participaron 471 adultos. Resultados. El análisis de consistencia interna de ambas escalas mostró una confiabilidad adecuada (ERQ-FR a =.71; y ERQ-SE a =.87). El análisis factorial exploratorio mostró dos factores que explicaban el 56,0 % de la varianza en el ERQ-FR y el 62,4 % de la varianza en el ERQ-SE. El análisis factorial confirmatorio mostró índices de ajuste aceptables y confirmó una estructura de dos factores para cada escala; el factor uno se denominó reevaluación cognitiva y el factor dos, supresión expresiva. Conclusión. Ambos cuestionarios son instrumentos para evaluar la frecuencia de uso y la habilidad percibida para implementar la reevaluación cognitiva y la supresión expresiva como estrategias de regulación de la emoción en población mexicana.
