MORETA-HERRERA, Rodrigo et al. Multigroup Analysis by Sex and Reliability of the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) in Ecuadorians. Aval. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.2, pp.220-228. ISSN 1677-0471.  https://doi.org/10.15689/ap.2021.2002.19889.10.

This study aimed to determine the factorial invariance by gender and the reliability of the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) in a sample of young Ecuadorians. A Measurement Equivalence or factorial invariance Instrumental study of the ERQ and its reliability was performed. Participants were 435 high school students (53.8% female), aged 14 to 20 (X̅= 16.7, s= 1.4). The ERQ's bifactor model was confirmed with χ²= 145.4; df (68); p <.001; χ²/df= 2.1; GFI=.94; CFI=.91 & RMSEA=.05 [.03-.06]. The restrictions to the model in the measure equivalence show that it is invariant regarding gender. In addition, the reliability showed that the magnitudes are acceptable with ω_SE= .636; ω_RC= .762 in men and ω_SE= .694; ω_RC= .742 in women. The ERQ model was found to be invariant by gender and reliable.
