ERQ
Emotion Regulation Questionnaire
The ERQ was created by Gross and John in 2003 and helps us understand how we manage our emotions.
It assesses two main strategies:
1. Cognitive Reappraisal: how often we change the way we think in order to feel better or to handle negative emotions.
2. Expressive Suppression: how often we try to hide or control our emotions outwardly.
These questionnaires are self-observation tools and are not a substitute for clinical diagnosis by a psychiatrist or another mental health professional.
