Abstract

Academic environments are characterized by high levels of emotion. In an emotion-driven environment where emotions are related to other factors affecting academic performance, emotion regulation is essential. Therefore, it is essential to develop an instrument to evaluate emotion regulation strategies for students to employ in academic environment; hence, this study aims to analyze the psychometric features and factor structure of Persian version of Academic Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (AERQ) to evaluate emotion regulation strategies of university students. This study was descriptive and correlational studies. The research method was descriptive of correlation type. The statistical population consisted of all university students of Tehran universities. A total of 250 university students were selected as sample members by available sampling method. The Academic Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (Burić et al., 2016) was implemented along with the Achievement Goal Questionnaire-Revised (Elliot & Murayama, 2008). After excluding incomplete questionnaires and outliers 219 questionnaires remained. The questionnaire reliability was measured through Cronbach’s alpha for internal consistency and the retest method. The confirmatory factor analysis and criterion validity were employed to analyze the questionnaire validity and standard scores for each range of scores were reported. All eight components of the original version were confirmed in the factor analysis. In the criterion validity, the variance explained by AERQ components was significant. Consisting of 37 items and 8 components, the Persian version of the AERQ has acceptable reliability and validity and can be utilized for research purposes.
