Introduction The cognitive emotions regulation questionnaire
(CERQ) is a 36-item questionnaire to measures specific cognitive
emotion regulation strategies used in response to the experience
of threatening or stressful life events. The Portuguese version of
CERQ proved to be a reliable and valid measure to evaluate eight
dimensions: Positive reappraisal and planning, positive refocusing,
rumination, blaming others, putting into perspective and self-
blame.
Objective To confirm the dimensional structure of a Portuguese
short version of the CERQ using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA).
Method Items selection was based on the previous results of
the exploratory factor analysis of the 36-items version. Items pre-
senting the highest loading (≥ 70) in their respective factor were
selected. A preliminary short version composed of 22 items were
answered by a sample of 480 university students (81.9% females),
with a mean age of 19.49 years (SD = 2.047; range = 17–30). CFA
(using Mplus software) was used to test if the eight dimensions’
model suggested by prior exploratory factor analyses fitted the
data.
Results The eight dimensions’ model has a good fit ( 2 =
424.015, P < .01; RMSEA = 0.056, 90%CI = 0.049–0.063; CFI = 0.930;
TLI = 0.910; SRMR = 0.051). Although composed of fewer num-
bers of items, all subscales presented good reliability (Cronbach
alpha< 70).
Conclusions The CERQ-22 is a reliable and valid measure to eval-
uate cognitive emotion regulation strategies in young adults. Being
a shorter version it is particularly useful for multivariate and
prospective studies. In the near future we will test this structure
in a clinical sample.

Introduction Personality traits such as Impulsivity and Sensa-
tion seeking are associated with aggressive and/or risky driving
behaviour. Understanding the influence of these traits in the driv-
ing task is important to perform a more comprehensive study of
road trauma, which is an increasing public health and economic
concern.
Objective To study the reliability and the construct validity of the
Portuguese version of impulsive sensation seeking scale (ImpSS)
using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA and CFA).
Methods 747 participants [417 (55.8%) women; mean age = 42.13
± 12.349 years; mean driving license years = 21.30 ± 11.338; mean
years of regular driving = 20.33 ±11.328] answered an online
survey which included this scale, and other socio-demographic
information. Inclusion criteria were: driving license and regular
driving for at least three years and age lower than 75 years old. The
total sample was randomly divided in two sub-samples, with sam-
ple A (n = 373) being used to perform EFA, and sample B to perform
CFA.
Results Themost acceptable factor model for ImpSS scalewas the
two-factor model found with EFA, excluding items 4, 6, 7 and 10
( 2/df = 2.13; TLI = .90; CFI = .92; RMSEA = .05, P = .211). The internal
consistency analysis resulted in: Sensation seeking, = .79; Impuls-
ivity, = .76; total ImpSS score, = .82.
Conclusions These findings suggest that the ImpSS Scale is a valid
and reliable measure to assess those personality traits in the Por-
tuguese drivers.

Introduction Although a plenty of instruments for quality of life
inmental illnesses was developed, both general and specific instru-
ments could be biased if the process of well-being appraisal is
different in different illnesses.
Objectives We consider personal appraisal of quality of life as a
result of the decision making process, which could have different
subjective criteria in mental illnesses.
Aims The aim was to compare the contribution of the quality of
life domains to the appraisals of general life satisfaction in mental
illnesses.
Methods Three groups of males 17–28 years old (74 with
non-psychotic depression, 90 developing recovery after the first
psychotic episode and 185 healthy controls) filled quality of life
and enjoyment questionnaire (version for mental illnesses) and
Happiness Scale.
Results Moderation analysis reveals that in non-psychotic
depression health, emotional sphere and functioning during the
day are more important predictors of general well-being than in
the two other groups. Patients developing recovery after psychotic
episode are less oriented to the emotional and social domains and
financial well-being when appraising their life satisfaction than
other participants.
Conclusions Results demonstrate the importance of identifying
and working with subjective criteria and process of appraisal of
general well-being in patients with mental illnesses. Direct com-
parisons of quality of life in different clinical groups are biased by
different subjective criteria that are important for patients.
