Resumo(s)
Beliefs about emotions, particularly their controllability and usefulness, shape emotion-regulation strategies and psychological well-being. This study aimed to translate, adapt, and validate the Emotion Beliefs Questionnaire (EBQ) for European Portuguese (EBQ-P), following the International Test Commission guidelines. Data from 373 adults (81.5% female; M = 43.87 years) were analysed. Exploratory (n = 183) and confirmatory (n = 190) factor analyses supported a four-factor structure (Negative Controllability, Positive Controllability, Negative Usefulness, and Positive Usefulness), consistent with recent international validations. The four-factor model showed acceptable fit (CFI = .91, TLI = .90, SRMR = .06, RMSEA = .09). Internal consistency ranged from modest to excellent (Cronbach’s α = .57–.92; McDonald’s ω = .59–.91). Negative emotions were perceived as more controllable than positive emotions, whereas positive emotions were perceived as more useful. Overall, the EBQ-P shows sound psychometric properties and provides a reliable, valid instrument for assessing emotion beliefs in the Portuguese population.
