Abstract

Introduction: The effects of emotional dysregulation can affect perceived self-efficacy and in turn interfere with individuals' adaptive behaviors, especially in adolescence, being a stage marked by change. For this reason, the current study focuses on the connection between both variables in this population.

Objective: The aim of the present study is to determine the relationship between emotional dysregulation and self-efficacy in adolescents.

Methods: The study has a quantitative approach with a non-experimental, correlational, cross-sectional research design. Adolescents from public and private educational institutions who were studying between ninth and third year of high school participated in the study.

Results: It was determined that there is a negative correlation between emotional dysregulation and self-efficacy.

Conclusions: The sample presents high scores in emotional regulation and high self-efficacy; regarding the difference by sex in the emotional dysregulation variable, it was determined that women have greater difficulty in emotional regulation. In addition, it was determined that the higher the emotional dysregulation, the lower the self-efficacy and vice versa.
