Background: Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder that often affects emotional regulation in individuals. Children with down syndrome usually have difficulty understanding and expressing their emotions appropriately. Objective: The purpose of this study was to test the factor structure of the digital version of the ERQ for down syndrome children, which is called the DTbERQ (Digital Technology-based Emotion Regulation Questionnaire). Method: The subjects used in this study were 39 parents or guardians of a child with down syndrome in the city of Gresik-Surabaya. This study involved 2 translators and 2 expert judges. Then a readability test was carried out on 3 subjects before using the DTbERQ on a large scale. The analysis of this study used statistical procedures for validity and reliability tests. Results: The results of this study show that the DTbERQ measuring instrument has proven to be valid and reliable for measuring the emotional regulation of down syndrome children. Conclusion: The DTbERQ measuring instrument can be used well to measure the emotional regulation of children with down syndrome from the perspective of parents or those closest to them.
