Objective:To develop and validate the Adolescent Flexible Regulation of Emotional Expression(AFREE) Scale that measures an adolescent's ability to enhance and suppress displayed emotion across a series of standardized hypo-thetical contexts. Methods:Firstly, open-ended questionnaire was administered(n=80). Secondly, items analysis and ex-ploratory factors analysis was conducted in the first sample(n=334). Thirdly, confirmatory factor analysis and reliability/va-lidity analysis were performed in the second sample(n=334). Results:25 items were selected and four factors were extract-ed by exploratory factor analysis. Specifically, these factors clustered into a hierarchical structure with four first-order fac-tors(enhancing positive emotion, enhancing negative emotion, suppressing positive emotion, and suppressing negative emo-tion,) and two second-order factors(enhancement and suppression). The results of reliability analysis, construct validity and criterion validity showed the AFREE Scale reached the psychometric standard. Conclusion:Adolescent Flexible Regula-tion of Emotional Expression(AFREE) Scale is a valid measure of expressive flexibility of Chinese adolescent.
