Abstract :
Emotion regulation means people’s efforts to influence the type, time and how to experience and express, change the duration or severity of behavioral, empirical and physical processes of emotions and have been automatically or controlled, conscious or non-conscious done by using emotion regulation strategies, such as reappraisal, rumination of thoughts, self-expression, avoidance and inhibition. Emotional self-regulation refers to one’s own efforts to change the situation, including thoughts, emotions, impulses, desires and behaviors and attention processes. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between emotional self- regulation and resilience with coping styles for stress among students. For this purpose, in a descriptive and correlational study, a sample of 236 students from the University of Roudehen was selected through accessible sampling method and in terms of the coping strategies, cognitive emotion regulation and resilience was tested. The results of the hierarchical multiple regression approach showed that problem-focused coping style could be significantly and positively predicted by resilience. Among the emotional self- regulation strategies, rumination and catastrophizing predict negatively and refocus on planning and positive reappraisal predict positively and significantly problem-focused coping style. Emotion-focused coping style could be negatively and significantly predicted by resilience.Among emotional self- regulation strategies, blaming oneself and others predict positively and accepting and taking a view predict negatively and significantly emotion-focused coping style.
