Background: Emotion regulation is essential for children’s and adolescents’ well-being, but there is little information on this process in Spanish-speaking population from Latin America; sound measurement instruments are needed. Objective: In this study, the factor structure, measurement invariance across sex and across age, construct validity, and internal consistency related to the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) were examined. Method: The adapted ERQ was administered to 2,108 Mexican children and adolescents (ages 9–18), along with measures of negative affect and emotion dysregulation. Results: The ERQ showed a two-correlated-factor structure, and invariance across sex and across age were confirmed. Correlations of Cognitive Reappraisal and Expressive Suppression with Negative Affect (r = .11 and .35, respectively) and Emotion Dysregulation (r = .14 and .39, respectively) supported the validity related to the ERQ scores. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega coefficients for both Cognitive Reappraisal (.76 each) and Expressive Suppression (.71 each) were satisfactory. Conclusion: Scores of this ERQ version are reliable and may be validly interpreted as emotion regulation.
