Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Intrapersonal emotion regulation refers to individuals' ability to effectively manage and respond to their own emotional experience. The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire for Children and Adolescents (ERQ-CA) is one of the main self-reporting tools assessing intrapersonal emotion regulation in middle age children and adolescents. This instrument measures the frequency of use of two types of emotion regulation strategies, the cognitive reappraisal and the expressive suppression. The ERQ-CA only focused on the frequency of use of these strategies, thus a parallel set of items measuring the efficacy of use of the cognitive reappraisal and of the expressive suppression has been recently proposed in adults. As no self-reporting tool assessing emotion regulation in middle-age children has yet been validated in a French sample, this study aimed to validate the French version of the ERQ-CA and the parallel set of items exploring the efficacy of use of the two emotion regulation strategies in children and adolescents. A power analysis using a Monte-Carlo simulation recommended a sample size of 140 participants. Therefore, a total of 140 children and adolescents (66 girls, mean age = 12.30 years; SD = 2.59 years; range = 8-16 years) were included in this study. Confirmatory Factorial Analyses confirmed the soundness of the two-factor solution for the ERQ-CA and the parallel set of items (RMSEA < .058; SRMR < .063; CFI > .93). Given the low numbers of items in the ERQ-CA, internal consistency was good (α > .70). This study confirmed that the ERQ-CA is an appropriate instrument to assess the frequency of use of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression in children and adolescents. In addition, this study demonstrated the validity of the parallel set of items to evaluate the efficacy of use of these two strategies. The combination of these two instruments should thus contribute to increase our understanding of the development of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression in children and adolescents. Further studies should be conducted to establish robust norms that can be useful in clinical practice.
