Description of Measure
The Children's Emotion Regulation scale was adapted for this study to serve as a self-report measure of the adolescent's ability to regulate emotions (Walden, Harris, Weiss, & Catron, 1995). For this measure, the same items are asked of both the subject and the collateral reporter. Only a subset (n=12) of the 33 original items contained in this scale are included in the Pathway's version. Examples of items are "X knows things to do to make himself/herself more happy," and "X can change his/her feelings by thinking of something else". The scale contains 12 items to which participants respond on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from "Not at all like him/her" to "Really like him/her". Higher scores indicate a better ability to regulate emotion.
One score is computed:
- Walden self-regulation scale [c0walden]; mean of the 9 items included. Data must be contained in six of the nine items in order to receive a computed mean.
