The Mini-CERTS is a short questionnaire measuring cognitive emotion regulation strategies, focusing mainly on rumination and control-oriented thinking.

Scoring & interpretation
Each item is rated on a 4- or 5-point Likert scale (often from 1 "Never" to 4 or 5 "Always"). Scores are summed or calculated by subdimension, distinguishing, for example, rumination from automatic control. Norms are available to interpret high scores as indicators of emotion regulation difficulties.
