Regulation of Emotion Systems Survey, RESS

Authors: K. DeFrance, T. Hollenstein (2017)

Instruction

Please indicate how you respond right away to negative emotions as they arise.

Do not choose your answers based on what you think you should do or wish you would do. Instead, choose your answers thoughtfully, and make your answers about what you actually do.

There are no “right” and “wrong” answers, so choose the most accurate answer for YOU – not what you think “most people” would say or do.

For each statement below, please select the appropriate option to indicate how frequently you did the following things in response to feeling a negative emotion, such as anger, sadness, or stress.
