Résumé
The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) is commonly used to assess dimensions of emotion dysregulation, including emotion nonacceptance, limited strategies, and difficulty with goal-directed behavior, impulse control, and emotional clarity. Despite considerable work examining the DERS' factor structure, reliability, and validity, there is limited psychometric support for its use with Black women. (1) Examine the factor structure of the DERS; (2) Compare fit of short-form versions; and (3) Assess whether scores differ based on diagnoses. Sample consisted of Black women (n = 667) recruited in urban, community hospital setting. The DERS-18 correlated traits model without awareness demonstrated the best fit, χ This study provides evidence supporting the model fit, reliability, and validity of the DERS-18 for Black women.

BACKGROUND
The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) is commonly used to assess dimensions of emotion dysregulation, including emotion nonacceptance, limited strategies, and difficulty with goal-directed behavior, impulse control, and emotional clarity. Despite considerable work examining the DERS' factor structure, reliability, and validity, there is limited psychometric support for its use with Black women.
OBJECTIVES
(1) Examine the factor structure of the DERS; (2) Compare fit of short-form versions; and (3) Assess whether scores differ based on diagnoses.
METHOD
Sample consisted of Black women (n = 667) recruited in urban, community hospital setting.
RESULTS
The DERS-18 correlated traits model without awareness demonstrated the best fit, χ
CONCLUSIONS
This study provides evidence supporting the model fit, reliability, and validity of the DERS-18 for Black women.
