The method of correlational research was factor analysis and the research population included all parents with children under ten years old in Sanandaj city in 2022. Among them, 370 people were selected using Morgan's table with an available sampling method. The revised scale of parent-assisted child emotion regulation scale (PACER) was implemented in the research sample after translation and verification of content validity. By using the factor analysis principal components method, 10 factors were determined as the main factors of the scale and confirmed by using confirmatory factor analysis. The determined factors (Behavioral commitment, problem-solving, social support, rumination, distraction, reappraisal, acceptance, Expression suppression, projection, and avoidance) had a reliability coefficient of 0.88 to 0.96 and the overall alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.94.
