The Role of Family Relationship on Emotional Regulation of Young Adults

This research study investigates the role of family relationships in the emotional regulation of young adults aged 18-22. Utilizing a quantitative research design with a sample of 100 participants, this study explored the association between perceived family environment, emotional expressivity, and psychological wellbeing. Correlation analysis revealed significant associations between positive family relationship dimensions (cohesion, expressiveness) and both emotional expressivity and wellbeing. Conversely, negative family relationship dimensions (conflict, control) showed negative correlations with emotional expressivity and wellbeing. These findings underscore the enduring influence of family relationships on the emotional regulation and overall psychological health of young adults, highlighting the importance of fostering positive family environments for healthy emotional development.
