The study is devoted to preliminary investigation Russian-language version of the questionnaire "Revised Parental Emotion Regulation Inventory" psychometric properties. The sample consists of 211 parents raising 1 child - 4 children, with 184 mothers (M=36,5) and 27 fathers (M=36,9). All five scales and total scale have good consistency (Cronbach's alpha from 0.78 and 0.84). Moderate retest reliability (one month interval) is shown (r = 0.75 to r = 0.61), which can indicate measurement of more situational characteristics of parental emotions regulation. Construct validity of the questionnaire was evaluated by means of correlations with scales that theoretically are connected with the emotional regulation in parents. It is generally acceptable. A higher levels of cognitive reassessment of unwanted child-related situations and suppression of thoughts about such situations were observed in parents raising children with autism spectrum disorders than in parents of neurotypical children. This indicates the criterion validity of the inventory. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis show incomplete compliance of the four-factor model with empirical data.
