WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Emotion Regulation (Situations) Test - Symptoms and Signs

emotional intelligence

This measure assesses perceived ability to manage emotional responses across common, everyday contexts. Emotion Regulation (Situations) focuses on applied emotion management in response to situational demands rather than emotion recognition alone.

It consists of 20 items and takes about 4 minutes to complete. Mark Davis (2004) is cited as the developer. In addition to self-report, Emotion Regulation (Situations) may be administered with informant ratings from someone who knows the respondent well to support a more comprehensive perspective on emotion regulation across settings.

Scores are typically interpreted as an index of how effectively an individual modulates affect and related behavior to maintain psychological balance and respond adaptively to changing circumstances. Results should be considered in conjunction with other clinical information and are not, by themselves, diagnostic.
