ABSTRACT

This study presents the Romanian version of the Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ). Psychometric properties were assessed in different clinical and non-clinical groups of adolescents, adults and psychiatric patients (N = 1807) from different parts of the country. Results provide evidence for the reliability and validity of CERQ in relation to personality traits, symptoms of anxiety and depression, coping measures for the adolescent and adult groups, pathological conditions. The results show that CERQ is a useful instrument for assessing cognitive emotional coping strategies in the Romanian population.
