Development of the burden expression suppression questionnaire for Japanese

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop a new questionnaire to assess the burden expressive suppression for Japanese (J-BES) based on the BES by Niermeyer, Franchow & Suchy (2016).In this study 1, 465 upper-middle and older adults filled 20 questionnaire items and two factors, social suppression and personal suppression, were identified by the factor analysis and selected 8 items as J-BES.In study 2, possible relations between J-BES score and D-CAT (representing attention related prefrontal cortex function) and Logical Memory test (representing memory related frontal-temporal cortex function) scores were examined.High J-BES score group participants showed worse D-CAT scores than low J-BES score group participants.These findings seem to support that J-BES has a certain level of test validity.
