Abstract

This psychometric study examines the Regulating Emotions in Parenting Scale (REPS; Rodriguez & Shaffer, 2021) across sexual and gender minority (SGM) and non-SGM parents in the U.S (n = 1958). Findings support REPS’ reliability and validity across diverse family structures and highlight links between parent emotion regulation and child psychopathology.
