Abstract

Recent research data shows that adolescents often experience poor emotional health. This study aims to describe the emotional regulation of students at SMAN 10 Padang. This study employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive comparative method. Two hundred and ninety students at SMAN 10 Padang were selected using proportional random sampling for the study in the 2022/2023 academic year. Data were collected using the Student Emotional Regulation Scale, developed based on the Likert scale model. The data were analyzed descriptively and then subjected to a two-way ANOVA test using JASP (Jeffreys's Amazing Statistics Program) software. The results indicate that students' emotional regulation at SMAN 10 Padang is moderate overall. This suggests that students at SMAN 10 Padang require intervention to improve their emotional regulation. Furthermore, the difference test showed that there were differences in emotional regulation levels between grades X, XI, and XII; no significant differences were found between males' and females' emotional regulation overall; and a significant interaction was found between grade and gender on emotional regulation (p=.027). This suggests that gender's influence on emotional regulation varies by grade level. The discussion focuses on the overall state of emotional regulation and the diversity of levels among Grade XI students, as well as the implications for guidance and counseling.
