Validation de la version francophone de l’Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC-vf)

Conclusion Comme les qualités psychométriques de l’ERC-vf sont confirmées, elle est utilisable à des fins de recherche et d’évaluation en intervention en francophonie. Introduction and objective This article presents two validation studies of the French version of the Emotion Regulation Checklist (Shields & Cicchetti, 1998; ERC-vf, Nader-Grosbois, 2013) led with preschoolers. This questionnaire is applicable to 3–12 years old children with and without disorder. Method In the study 1 (n =152), the teachers filled the ERC-vf and a personality scale. In the study 2 (n =71), the ERC-vf was completed two times by the teachers and by the parents who also filled other measures of emotion regulation and of social competences. Results The study 1 shows a good internal consistency and a two-factor structure (emotion regulation and dysregulation). The scores for these factors are significantly linked with developmental ages, the global level of intellectual efficiency and specific factors of personality. The study 2 shows a good inter-judges agreement, a stability test-retest and the external convergent validity between scores in ERC-vf and in other measures of emotion regulation and of social competences. Conclusion As the ERC-vf has good psychometric properties, it may be used for research and for assessment in intervention in French-speaking areas.
