Resumen

Los adolescentes experimentan numerosos cambios emocionales y psicológicos en esta etapa, por lo que la regulación emocional es esencial para su salud mental. La forma en que gestionan sus emociones puede tener un gran impacto en el nivel de estrés que sienten al afrontar los desafíos de sus relaciones, identidad y estudios. Es crucial comprender cómo interactúan la regulación emocional y el estrés percibido para crear intervenciones que ayuden a los adolescentes a afrontar las dificultades que enfrentan. Esta investigación aclara la importancia de desarrollar la regulación emocional en estos primeros años para reducir el estrés percibido. Este estudio investiga la relación entre la regulación emocional y el estrés percibido en adolescentes. Se evaluó a una muestra de 100 adolescentes (50 hombres y 50 mujeres) mediante la Escala de Estrés Percibido (PSS) y el Cuestionario de Regulación Emocional (ERQ). Los hallazgos indican una diferencia significativa entre los géneros en la regulación emocional y el estrés percibido; además, indican una correlación negativa entre las estrategias de regulación emocional y los niveles de estrés percibido, lo que sugiere que una regulación emocional eficaz puede mitigar la percepción del estrés en los adolescentes. Estos resultados subrayan la importancia de la regulación emocional para promover la salud mental y el bienestar en esta población vulnerable.
