Measurement Instruments
Level of Personality Functioning Scale – qIAT (LPFS-qIAT; Natoli & Rodriguez, in press)
The LPFS-qIAT can be viewed as an amalgamation of self-report and IAT procedures for the indirect measurement of personality functioning impairment. The LPFS-qIAT involves a procedure comparable to the IAT, requiring respondents to complete multiple, brief double-categorization reaction-time tasks wherein they are instructed to classify statements using the presented category labels as quickly and as accurately as possible by pressing either the “E” or “I” key on their keyboard. The full procedure takes approximately 10 minutes and consists of seven blocks, including two learning blocks (1, 2), three practice blocks (3, 5, 6), and two critical test blocks (4, 7). A copy of the LPFS-qIAT for administration via Qualtrics and scoring code are available at the above link.
Emotion Regulation Knowledge Scale (ERKS; Natoli & Brown, 2022)
This brief, self-report instrument was designed to measure an individual’s accessible knowledge of processes that potentially facilitate or hinder emotion regulation processes, how different skills can help regulate emotional experiences, at what point emotion regulation strategies should be used, and which emotion regulation strategy would be ideal given the context. The ERKS produces scores for two scales of emotion regulation knowledge:
- Dysregulation-Directed Knowledge: Interpreted as an estimate of the amount of accessible knowledge the individual possesses that would help them avoid emotion dysregulation.
- Regulation-Directed Knowledge: Interpreted as an estimate of the amount of accessible knowledge the individual possesses that would likely facilitate successful emotion regulation and functioning when strong emotions are present.
