Summary
Adolescent students show low resilience and emotional regulation challenges. Integrated, school-based programs are needed to improve psychological well-being and adaptive functioning in adolescents.
Area of Science:
- Adolescent Psychology
- Mental Health Research
Background:
- Emotional regulation and resilience research often occurs in separate domains, lacking holistic integration.
- Limited research exists on adolescent emotional regulation and resilience within the school context, considering background variables and cultural factors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess emotional regulation and resilience among 9th-grade students.
- To identify the need for integrated, school-based interventions for adolescent psychological well-being.
Main Methods:
- A cluster-randomized method was employed, selecting two schools via lottery.
- Exclusion criteria included prior training in life skills, resilience, or emotional development, and presence of psychiatric/chronic illnesses.
- Ethical approval and informed consent/assent were obtained, ensuring confidentiality.
Main Results:
- The average emotional regulation score was 20.30.
- The average resilience score was 65.63.
- Findings indicate low resilience and difficulties in emotional regulation among the studied adolescent population.
Conclusions:
- There is a significant need for targeted, integrated school-based interventions.
- Such interventions can enhance adolescent emotional regulation and resilience.
- Strengthening these areas is crucial for improving psychological well-being and adaptive functioning in adolescents.

Socio-emotional development in infancy is primarily shaped by early emotional responses and social connections, with temperament playing a central role. Temperament refers to the consistent patterns in an individual's emotional and behavioral responses, observable even in infancy.

According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

Cognitive psychologist Richard Lazarus proposed the cognitive-mediational theory of emotions, which emphasizes how individuals' assessments of stressors significantly affect their experience of stress. According to Lazarus, the stress response is determined by a two-step appraisal process: primary appraisal and secondary appraisal. These cognitive appraisals help individuals evaluate the potential impact of a stressor and determine the adequacy of their coping resources.
