The DERS is a 36-item self-administered questionnaire created to evaluate emotion dysregulation across six areas: nonacceptance of emotional responses, difficulties in goal-directed behavior, impulse control issues, lack of emotional awareness, limited access to emotion regulation strategies, and lack of emotional clarity.
What this tool is good for:
The DERS is useful for identifying and understanding difficulties in emotion regulation, which can contribute to a number of psychopathologies, including eating disorders.
