Aim and Background: Emotions play an important role in human life. Expression and disclosure of Emotions can bring many benefits to people. The aim of this study was adaptation and determine the psychometric characteristics of the Persian version of the Emotional Self-Disclosure Scale (ESDS). In order to facilitate the implementation of interventions related to emotion disclosure, it is necessary to prepare research tools to evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions and make them available to clinician. In addition, these tools allow the investigation of the relationship between emotional self-disclosure and other important psychological constructs in different populations.
Methods and Materials: The research method was descriptive and correlational and sampling method was convenience. The initial sample consisted of 998 people, and the final sample, included valid questionnaires, and consisted of 976 students of public and Azad universities of Tehran and Alborz provinces. Participants who studying in the academic year 2019-2020, responded to Emotional Self-Disclosure Scale, Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and the Multiple Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS).
Findings: The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that ESDS has a five-factor structure in Iranian culture. The internal consistency of scale was desirable and Cronbach's alpha is 0.95. Correlation between ESDS with MSPSS scores indicates optimal convergent validity, and with ERQ scores indicate optimal divergent validity.
Conclusions: Based on the findings, ESDS can be used as an effective tool for researchers and clinical specialists, in evaluating the rate of expression and disclosure of a variety of positive and negative emotions. This tool will be of great help to professionals in the field of emotional self-disclosure.
