Mediating role of resilience on the relationship between meta emotions and emotional regulation among neglected adolescents

The findings of the study highlight the prevalence of increased negative meta emotions and poor emotional regulation among neglected adolescents, which is of utmost importance from a psychological, social and policy-making perspective. This calls for the need for tailored and individual-focused interventional strategies to improve the psychological health of these vulnerable children. Moreover, the critical period of adolescence is a crucial time for implementing effective policies in order to shape the behavioural and cognitive aspects of personality with much-needed care, support, and professional guidance.
