AB  - INTRODUCTION: Emotion regulation refers to use of strategies to change or 
      suppress a response to an affective experience and is an important component of 
      an individual's subjective wellbeing. Difficulties properly regulating emotions 
      are related to psychopathological processes. OBJECTIVE: This study assessed the 
      factor structure of the Brazilian version of the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire 
      (ERQ); the invariance of its psychometric parameters as a function of gender; and 
      its convergent validity with other scales measuring affective processes. METHOD: 
      A total of 813 adults (73.7% women), aged between 18 and 64 years and with a high 
      educational level used an electronic platform to complete the ERQ, the Positive 
      and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), the Affect Scale (AS), and the Difficulties 
      in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS). Factor structure, reliability, and validity 
      of the adapted version of the ERQ were investigated. RESULTS: Multi-group 
      confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) revealed adequate goodness of fit for the 
      ERQ's two-factor model (cognitive reappraisal and emotional suppression), 
      providing evidence of invariance of its psychometric parameters as a function of 
      gender. Correlations between the ERQ's factors and measures of affect and 
      emotional dysregulation presented positive indicators, with significant 
      associations between emotion regulation and affective experiences depending on 
      gender. CONCLUSION: The ERQ presents good psychometric indicators for use with 
      the Brazilian population.
