متن يادداشت

Emotion regulation (ER) is associated with internalizing disorders (e.g. depression, anxiety) (Gross & Oliver, 2003; Visted et al., 2018), externalizing disorders (e.g. Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), Substance Use Disorder (SUD)) (Boden et al., 2013; Bradizza et al., 2018; Petit et al., 2015) and risk behaviors related to SUD and AUD (Boden et al., 2013; Estévez et al., 2017; Zimmermann et al., 2017). One challenge this research program in Puerto Rico is the need for validated instruments measuring this construct (Roca de Torres, 2008). A widely used instrument for studying ER is The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS, Gratz & Roemer, 2004). This study aims to provide validity evidence for the DERS with Puerto Rican adults, and preliminary evidence of how the DERS relates to SUD and AUD risk behaviors. A convenience sample of 213 participants completed an online survey through the PsyTool Kit platform (Stoet, 2010; Stoet, 2017) with the following instruments: DERS, ERQ (Gross & Oliver, 2003), DOSPERT (Blais & Weber, 2006; Lozano et al., 2017), and Risk Behaviors Questionnaire. Exploratory Factor Analysis showed that DERS has five-factors and 34 items. Additionally, the DERS has very good internal reliability for all factors with values in the range of α = 0.81 - α = 0.95. Similarly, correlations with DOSPERT show that lack of emotional clarity has a small positive correlation with Risk-Taking (r = 0.18, 95% CI = 0.05, 0.31, p = 0.02), and a small negative correlation with Risk Perception (r = -0.17, 95% CI = -0.03, 0.29, p = 0.01) in the recreational domain. In conclusion, this study provides evidence that the DERS Puerto Rico is a valid instrument with very good reliability in Puerto Rican adults. Additionally, results suggest that lack of emotional clarity has a small effect that may contribute to the initiation of substance use through a decreased risk perception and increased risk-taking, but no association in the maintenance of substance use behaviors.
