Erfassung der Emotionsregulation bei Jugendlichen anhand des „Affective Style Questionnaire – Youth (ASQ-Y)“

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1026/0012-1924/a000210

Zusammenfassung. Zur Erfassung der 3 Emotionsregulationsstrategien Unterdrücken, Anpassen / Neubewerten und Akzeptieren wurde der Affective Style Questionnaire für Jugendliche (ASQ-Y) adaptiert und an einer entsprechenden Stichprobe (N = 1 092) validiert. Die Dimensionalität des englischen Originalfragebogens und der deutschen Version für Erwachsene konnte auch für Jugendliche bestätigt werden. Während der Analyse kam das ESEM-Verfahren (Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling) zum Einsatz, die Kennwerte bewegten sich im akzeptablen bis sehr guten Bereich. Der Comparative Fit Index (CFI) erreichte einen akzeptablen Wert von .938, ebenso der Tucker–Lewis Index (TLI) mit einem Wert von .911. Der Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) lag bei einem sehr guten Wert von .050, das Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR) erreichte einen guten Wert von .030. Die internen Konsistenzen der 3 Skalen (Unterdrücken: α = .77; Anpassen / Neubewerten: α = .76; Akzeptieren: α = .76) erreichten (vergleichbar mit dem englischen Original und der deutschen Erwachsenenstichprobe) zufriedenstellende Werte. Die Subskalen zeigten hypothesenkonforme diskriminante und konvergente Zusammenhänge mit etablierten Verfahren des Forschungsbereichs Emotionsregulation, was für die Konstruktvalidität spricht. Insgesamt ist der ASQ-Y als Messinstrument zur Erfassung von verschiedenen Emotionsregulationsstrategien bei Jugendlichen geeignet und ökonomisch in seiner Anwendung. Der ASQ-Y kann in der Allgemeinbevölkerung und in der Prävention eingesetzt werden. Nach entsprechender Validierung ist der Einsatz auch im klinischen Setting möglich.


Assessment of Emotion Regulation in Adolescents With the „Affective Style Questionnaire – Youth“ ASQ-Y

Abstract. The Affective Style Questionnaire assesses the 3 emotion regulation strategies suppression, adjusting / reappraisal, and acceptance and was adapted for adolescents (ASQ-Y) and validated using an adolescent sample (N = 1,092). The results confirmed the expected dimensionality of the English and German versions for adults. An exploratory structural equation modeling procedure (ESEM) yielded model-fit indicators that ranged from acceptable to very good values. The comparative fit index reached an acceptable value of .938, the Tucker–Lewis index yielded an acceptable value of .911. The root mean square error of approximation reached a very good value of .050, and the standardized root mean square residual resulted in a good value of .030. The internal consistencies of the 3 scales reached satisfactory values and were comparable to the English and German versions for adults (suppression: α = .77; adjusting / reappraisal: α = .76; acceptance: α = .76). The 3 subscales showed expected correlations with established instruments in the field of emotion regulation, providing evidence for construct validity. In sum, the ASQ-Y is a suitable and economic instrument for assessing three distinct strategies of emotion regulation in adolescents. The ASQ-Y may be applicable not only in the healthy general population and for prevention purposes but also in clinical settings after appropriate validation studies.
