Influence Of Social Compassion and Emotional Regulation Among Young Adults

Abstract

The goal of this study was to look at how social compassion and emotional regulations related in teens. Social compassion helps us see, understand and lessen the pain of others with kindness. It has been getting attention in mental health and positive psychology studies. Emotional regulation is about controlling your feelings. It is good for health and social connections. The study’s goal was to look into how different levels of compassion affect people’s ability to control their emotions. A quantitative research methodology was used. There were 201 undergraduates in the sample all between the ages of 18 and 25. Standardized self-report measures were used to find out how much social compassion and emotional control people had. Correlation methods were used in the analysis. The results showed that there was a positive link between social compassion and emotional regulation. People who were socially compassionate were better at recognizing their own emotions. They used reappraisal more and relied less on harmful ways of controlling their emotions, like suppression. The results suggest that teaching teens to be socially compassionate may help them learn how to control their emotions better. This would be good for their health. The study stresses how important it is to bring compassion-focused therapy into schools. This can help teens become more emotionally intelligent and mentally healthy. The consequences, for research and practice are examined.
