Abstract
The present paper reports on the results of the adaptation and validity of Spanish version of the Emotional Style Questionnaire (ESQ - Roger, Guarino & Olason, 2000), conducted with a sample of venezuelan university students. The original 56 items scale labelled ECQ – Emotional Control Questionnaire (Roger & Najarian, 1989; Roger & Nesshoever, 1987) measured four dimensions of emotional styles: rumination, emotional inhibition, aggresion control and benign control. However, based on the resivion of the scales, Roger, Guarino and Olason (2000) propused a shorter version of 39 items, where only the rumination and emotional inhibition scales were maintained. The spanish version of this scale, jointly with other personality questionnaires and health measures, was administered to a sample of 419 Venezuelan university students and results showed the structure of the scale to be nearly identical to the English version, with adequate internal consistency. The concurrent and predictive validity study supports the theoretical structure for each dimension.This spanish version of the ESQ can be assumed as a valid and reliable scale for the measurement of emotional response styles in different contexts for hispanic spoken people.
