The study results show a moderate positive relationship between emotion regulation (i.e., reappraisal) and resilience among young adults in Malaysia. The result also demonstrated that rational cognitive influence in encouraging young adults positively. Next, the results for the level of emotional regulation of young adults in Malaysia show the number of moderately high levels of emotional regulation faced by young adults when faced with challenges in life conflicts. This indicates that young adults have emotions that are experienced based on the life situations they go through.
