The aim of the present study is to examine the psychometric properties of a new scale of
self-efficacy beliefs to expressing positive emotion in adolescents, previously investigated by
Gerbino and colleagues (2015) in young adults. In particular, the PSEMPAQ includes two
subscales of expression and two subscales of coping: the expression of affect and expression
of pride, the use of positive memories, and the use of humor to cope with stressful life
events. To this aim, the factorial structure, the invariance across gender and across school
grade, and the construct validity were tested. Participants were 360 students (58% females).
Most of these participants (n=232; Mage=16,8) attending the upper secondary school. EFA
and CFA confirmed the four hypothesized factors. There was partial invariance at scalar
levels both across gender and school grade. Hierarchical multiple regression showed a
discriminative ability of the four scales with specific emotional states measured by PANAS-X
(Watson & Clark, 1999)
