La desregulación emocional (de) fue identificada como uno de los principales procesos involucrados en el surgimiento y mantenimiento de los trastornos emocionales. A su vez, los trastornos emocionales son los más prevalentes mundialmente, volviendo a la de un objeto de estudio de gran relevancia. El presente trabajo consiste en la adaptación y validación de la Escala de Dificultades en la Regulación Emocional (Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, ders) (Gratz & Roemer, 2004), para ser usada en población general del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. Se realizó un estudio transversal con 315 participantes entre 18 y 65 años. La consistencia interna resultó adecuada (α = 0.936; ω = 0.938). Se llevó a cabo un análisis factorial confirmatorio mediante el paquete Lavaan, quedando la escala conformada por 30 ítems que se ajustan a las seis dimensiones originales. También se presenta evidencia de validez convergente y discriminante, la capacidad de discriminación de los ítems, diferencias por sexo y edad, y valores normativos para adultos del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires. La adaptación al español de la ders representa una herramienta válida y confiable para medir distintos aspectos del proceso de regulación emocional.

Objetives: This article aims to present the Scale of Common Interventions (EIC), an instrument aimed at exploring the use of psychotherapeutic interventions used by therapists of different theoretical frameworks and analyze its psychometric properties. Methodology: A non-probabilistic sample of 101 psychoanalytic and cognitive behavioral therapists completed an online version of the scale based on the last session with an adult patient. Based on this data preliminary reliability analyzes and an exploratory factor analysis was performed. Subsequently, to validate the factorial structure of the instrument, a confirmatory factor analysis was performed, based on data from a new sample of 213 therapists identified with various theoretical frameworks that completed the scale.  Results: The exploratory factor analysis suggested a first solution of three factors; as one of them did not have the minimum required items per factor, said items were excluded and a new factor analysis was generated that resulted in a two-factor solution, which explained 71.1% of the total variance. The ordinal α coefficients presented levels adequate reliability in both factors. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that all estimated standardized loads of the nine items presented parameters significant (p <0.001). Discussion: The EIC is presented as a scale, which has evidence of validity and reliability, which as a short and simple instrument can represent a valuable contribution to studies aimed at evaluating psychotherapeutic interventions in the Latin American context.
