摘要：The purpose of the present study was to validate the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) in the university population of Cordoba, Argentina. A convenience sample of 211 undergraduates enrolled in different careers was recruited. Exploratory factor analysis yielded a six-factor structure similar to the original version which explained 50.79% of the variance. Examination of internal consistency and concurrent validity with neuroticism and extraversion traits of IPIP-FFM revealed satisfactory results. Finally, studies examining gender differences showed a significant although small difference in the factor “lack of emotional clarity” for women (t = 2.19; df = 209; p < 0.05; d = 0.17). In general, results are promising and enable the development of further researches that examine the role of difficulties in emotion regulation at the university context of Cordoba.
