Emotional regulation is a skill related to emotional intelligence, which has shown important impacts on several aspects of life. This work aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Emotion Regulation Test (ERT) based on the Item Response Theory (IRT). The instrument was applied over the internet to 289 participants, predominantly female young adults and university students. The results inform about the instrument's psychometric properties, which can be improved in terms of reliability and in filling gaps in the skills continuum assessed by the test. However, it was adequate regarding the balance between the items' difficulty and the respondents' ability levels and provided information about aspects that influence the increase of the items' difficulty, which has clinical and assessment implications.

Palavras-chave : emotional regulation; Item Response Theory; emotions; emotional intelligence; psychological assessment.
