My agency is going to study how service recipients of the community control, manage, and regulate their emotions by using scales related to emotional reappraisal and emotional suppression. My question is, how should I choose the appropriate scale among several scales that are both relevant to my question? Thank you.

Thank you for your question and I would like to answer your questions from three points.

Firstly, consider the psychometric properties: Evaluate the reliability and validity of each scale. Look for scales with high internal consistency (e.g., Cronbach’s alpha) and strong evidence of construct validity (e.g., convergent and discriminant validity). Choose a scale that has been well-established and widely used in previous research.

Second, consider the measurement focus: Determine the specific aspects of the construct you want to measure. Different scales may emphasize different dimensions or facets of the construct. Choose a scale that aligns with your research question and the specific aspects you aim to capture.

Finally, consider practical considerations: Assess the feasibility of using each scale. Consider factors such as the length of the scale, administration time, and ease of scoring. Choose a scale that is practical for your research context and the resources available to you.

Thank you for your question and please feel free to raise further questions if you like.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
