Emotional Regulation Questionnaire

The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) is used to measure an individual's tendency to regulate their emotions through cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. Developed by James Gross and Oliver John in 2003, it assesses two key emotion regulation strategies and is widely used in psychological research to study emotional well-being, coping mechanisms, and mental health outcomes.
