Abstract
This study aimed to assess the content validity of the Islamic Emotional Regulation Module towards the mental wellbeing of youth. This module has five main submodules, namely the emotional regulation submodule of sadness, anger, guilt, shame and fear. This module has gone through content validation involving five experts in the fields of Islamic thought, moral psychology and adolescent counseling. Data evaluation by experts were analyzed using Content Validity Index (CVI). The results of the evaluation by experts showed that all modules tested had a high content validity coefficient of between .770 to .810 (> .70). The results of the study concluded that all submodules of the Islamic Emotional Regulation Module have high content validity and a pilot study should be conducted to determine the reliability of the modules before being used in the experimental study. It is hoped that this developed module can help the youths in regulating their emotions as well as becoming useful human beings. An individual’s ability to regulate emotions can help them manage and respond effectively to the emotional experiences they experience. The suggestion follow up study is to conduct a pilot study to determine the reliability of the module and test the effectiveness of the module in a larger population.

The results of the study concluded that all submodules of the Islamic Emotional Regulation Module have high content validity and a pilot study should be conducted to determine the reliability of the modules before being used in the experimental study
This indicates that there is no significant difference in the values of the coefficients between the minimum and maximum for all activities. This shows that the percentage of expert consensus is more than 70% with a level of validity coefficient >.70 found that all these modules are good and satisfactory and can be continued in the pilot study to determine the reliability of the modules
Summary
Every individual needs to have the skills to manage and control emotions so that those emotions remain balanced and stable. These skills are called emotional regulation skills. Emotional regulation refers to the process by which a person has control over when and how they experience emotions and express those emotions (Gross & John, 2003). Emotional regulation can be interpreted as the ability to evaluate and change emotional reactions in accordance to specific current behaviours and circumstances (Thompson, 2001). Proper emotional regulation includes an individual's ability to understand his or her own feelings, physiological reactions, and emotion-related reactions. The most important thing in emotional regulation is to change negative emotions into positive ones that benefit oneself and others. Failure to control emotions or emotional dysregulation can lead to psychopathological risks i.e. mental health problems (Bradley, et al, 2011)
