صعوبات التنظيم الوجداني لدى طلبة الجامعة

Abstract

  Students who possess an appropriate level of emotional regulation achieve a state of calm and stability when facing various life circumstances. This helps them cope with life situations effectively and with dedication. During this stage, it is noted that they are unable to regulate and control emotions in challenging situations while facing pressure. This is known as emotional regulation difficulties. These emotions are considered one of the most important factors in achieving psychological happiness for individuals and society alike. This is because emotions are important for our personal safety, physical comfort, and guiding behavior to improve psychological conditions. When an individual suffers from an inability to understand and be aware of their feelings and emotions, they lose control over certain impulsive behaviors and emotions to achieve their desired goals. They also struggle to choose an effective strategy to regulate their emotional reactions in various situations to achieve their goals. All of this reflects a deficiency and problem in the individual's emotional regulation.

Therefore, the problem of the current research was to identify the emotional regulation difficulties of university students by achieving the following research objectives:

1- Identify the emotional regulation difficulties of Al-Qadisiyah University students.

2- Identify the significance of differences in emotional regulation difficulties among Al-Qadisiyah University students according to the variables of gender (male - female), academic specialization (humanities students - science students), and academic grades (first grade - fourth grade).

After reviewing the literature and previous studies, the researcher developed a scale, which in its final form consisted of 38 items and consisted of five dimensions (non-acceptance of emotional responses, difficulties engaging in goal-directed behavior, difficulties controlling impulses, limited access to effective emotional regulation strategies, and lack of emotional clarity). After verifying that the scale met the psychometric requirements required for psychological scales, including face validity, construct validity, and reliability using the split-half and Cronbach's alpha methods, the scale was applied to a research sample of (400) university students, both male and female, randomly selected from the research community. The data obtained from the research sample were subjected to statistical analysis using the appropriate tools and equations in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The research concluded that there were differences in levels of psychological well-being among university students
