[A self report questionnaire for the assessment of emotional experience and emotion regulation].

In this article first results of a self report questionnaire to assess emotional experience and emotion regulation (EER) will be presented. The questionnaire assesses the emotional experience (first part), and the regulation of an emotion individually selected as difficult (second part). Psychometrical properties will be shown; a comparison between patients (n = 323) and healthy controls (n = 281) did show significant distinctions for emotional experience as well as for regulation of emotion.
