Abstract
The Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ; Garnefski et al., Personality and Individual Differences, 30, 1311–1327, 2001) is a multidimensional questionnaire that was developed to assess cognitive emotion regulation strategies people use after
experiencing negative life events or situations. The purpose of the present study was to develop a Turkish version of the
CERQ and to examine its psychometric properties in a sample of Turkish university students. The English version of the CERQ
was translated and back-translated prior to its administration to 396 participants recruited from several universities in
Turkey. Internal consistency, test-retest reliability, inter-scale reliability, construct and criterion-related validity of
the Turkish version were analyzed. The results indicated that the data collected with the Turkish version do also support
the original nine-factor model; with reliability and validity measures comparable to the original one.
