It is very important for children to learn adaptive emotion regulation strategies because the emotion dysregulation is risk factor for depression and anxiety disorders. However, in Japan, there is no scale that assesses the emotion regulation of children, so that the research progress of depression and anxiety disorders has been delayed. Therefore, the present research is aimed at the developing the japanese version of the emotion regulation questionnaire for children and adolescents and investigate its reliability and validity.
