Emotion regulation is a fundamental capacity that significantly influences psychological well-being and social functioning. Although numerous emotion regulation scales have been developed for adults and adolescents, no instrument has been specifically designed for elementary school children in Indonesia. This study aimed to develop and validate the Children’s Emotion Regulation Scale – 4 Strategies (SREA-4), which assesses four emotion regulation strategies: distraction, behavioral activation, social sharing, and expressive suppression. This developmental study integrated the Plomp model and the systematic procedures proposed by Boateng et al., encompassing three phases: item development, scale construction, and scale evaluation. Content validity was evaluated by six experts using the Content Validity Index (CVI). Field testing involved 50 students in Grades 4–6, aged 10–13 years, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using a measurement model RASCH to assess item fit, reliability, and unidimensionality. All initial items demonstrated a CVI of ≥ 0.83. Three misfitting items were removed, resulting in a final 17-item scale. The reliability coefficient was excellent (0.92), and the first contrast variance was 9.0%, supporting the assumption of unidimensionality. No significant differences were observed based on gender or age. The final version of the SREA-4 demonstrates adequate validity and reliability for preliminary research among elementary school students.
