Objective: Interpersonal processes are a significant dimension of emotion regulation, yet studies in this area are quite limited, and the measurement tools used in the Turkish literature are also scarce. Therefore, it is aimed to introduce the Interpersonal Regulation Interaction Scale to the Turkish literature. Method: The sample of the study consists of n=320 married individuals. The data were collected through surveys. In this study, measurement tools that inquire about emotion regulation, social support, and psychological symptoms were used. The scale's construct validity was assessed with confirmatory factor analysis. Criterion-related validity was tested with Pearson correlation coefficients with other scales, and reliability was calculated using Cronbach α coefficients. Finally, test-retest reliability was tested in a group of 50 individuals. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supports the scale's four-factor structure (responsiveness, cognitive support, hostility, physical presence). The Cronbach α values for the Turkish Interpersonal Regulation Interaction Scale are .92 for the responsiveness subscale, .87 for the cognitive support subscale, .75 for the hostility subscale, and .80 for the physical presence subscale. The results of criterion-related validity and test-retest reliability confirm that the Turkish form is a valid and reliable tool, and it is reported that the subscales are associated with psychopathology, difficulties in emotion regulation, psychological symptoms and social support. Conclusion: This research found that the Interpersonal Regulation Interaction Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for the Turkish sample. In conclusion, a significant measurement tool has been introduced for use in research in Türkiye.
