| Sumario: | Previous studies show that difficulties in emotional regulation are associated with an increased risk of mental health problems in college students. Therefore, in Argentina, the Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale (DERS) has been adapted specifically for this population; however, there is still no normative data that allows its use in clinical settings or for classification purposes. The main objective of this study was to obtain scales for the interpretation of the DERS with a sample of 403 university students from Río Cuarto, using percentiles and T-scores. The scores demonstrated high reliability, indicating that they are accurate for classifying individuals. The normative data provided allows the scale to be used in screening evaluations in combination with other sources of information. |
