Abstract. The psychometric properties of the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ) as well as its prospective relation-
ships with symptoms of depression and anxiety were studied in an adult general population sample. The results showed that the CERQ
had good factorial validity and high reliabilities, with Cronbach’s αs ranging between .75 and .87. In addition, the cognitive emotion
regulation strategies accounted for considerable amounts of variance in emotional problems and strong relationships were found between
the cognitive strategies self-blame, rumination, catastrophizing and positive reappraisal (inversely) and symptoms of depression and
anxiety, both at first measurement and at follow-up. The CERQ might therefore be considered a valuable and reliable tool in the study
of individual risk and protective factors associated with emotional problems, while providing us with important targets for intervention.
