Abstract

Emotion regulation is the ability to adjust one’s emotion according to certain circumstances. Peer pressure refers to the influence exerted by peers or colleagues to conform to certain social conventions, behaviors, or mindsets, often resulting in changes to one’s own perspective, values, or behavior. The study aims to assess the relationship between emotional regulation and peer pressure among school students. The sample consisted of 120 adolescents aged between (16-18) who are school students (60 boys and 60 girls). The data were gathered using the Emotional -Regulation questionnaire (ERQ) (Gross. J. J& John. o. p 2003) and Peer Pressure Questionnaire- Revised (PPQ-R) (Sunil Saini 2016). IBM SPSS statistics 25 was used to do the statistical process of spearman’s correlation analysis. The result indicated that there was no relationship between emotional regulation and peer pressure. But the findings showed that there exists a significant negative correlation between expressive suppression, a subscale of emotional regulation and peer pressure which is significant at 0.05 level.
