The purpose of the current study was to investigate construct validity using the newly developed bi-factor structural equation modeling(Bifactor-ESEM), bifactor exploratory factor analysis(EFA-bifactor), and confirmatory factor analysis of Bifactor and second-order. The results demonstrated the superiority of a EFA-Bifactor compared to other alternative models but has statistically significant  and lower CFI(less than .90) values. The results could indicate the necessity of developing construct validity of emotional regulation scale further. Importantly, these results demonstrated the importance of valid measurement providing a way to achieve a proper disaggregation of emotional regulation styles relative to specific needs for emotional clarity, avoidance/distinctiveness, and supportiveness.
