A self report 10-item scale designed to measure respondents' tendency to regulate their emotions in two ways: (1) Cognitive Reappraisal and (2) Expressive Suppression. Respondents answer each item on a 7-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).Items 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10 make up the Cognitive Reappraisal facet (score is averaged, i.e., the score lies between 1 and 7), higher score indicates higher Cognitive reappraisal). Items 2, 4, 6, 9 make up the Expressive Suppression facet (score is averaged, i.e., the score lies between 1 and 7, higher score indicates higher Expressive Suppression).

Treatment Credibility Questionnaire. Participant and parent's expectancy about the perceived benefit of treatment will be assessed following the first intervention session after the treatment rationale is given. Adolescents were asked to rate how logical the treatment seemed to them, how confident they were that it would be successful, and how confident they would be in recommending the treatment to a friend. A 0- to 2-point rating scale (0 = none, 1 = some, 2 = a lot) was used (range of possible overall score 0-6, higher score indicating higher treatment credibility)
