The Relationship Between Emotion Regulation and Resilience in Single Mothers Possessing Multiple Roles in Malang City

Abstract

In reality, not all families consist of two parents; there are many single fathers and mothers. Single mothers have a responsibility in educating their children as well as being the backbone of the family – these two tasks are called dual roles. Multiple roles can cause conflict and negative emotions in single mothers. Therefore, it is important to be able to regulate emotions to run optimally, and it is important to have skills in resilience to rise from difficult experiences and be optimistic when facing problems. This study aimed to examine the relationship between emotion regulation and the resilience of single mothers who have multiple roles in Malang City. A quantitative research method was used and there were 80 participants who were all single mothers with multiple roles in Malang City. The measuring instruments used were the emotion regulation scale and the resilience scale. Based on the results, there was a significantly strong correlation between emotion regulation and resilience.

Presenting a Structural Model of Resilience Based on Psychological Optimism with the Mediating Role of Cognitive Emotion Regulation Strategies in Parents of Children with Cancer

“…The standardized coefficients for the direct path between resilience and maladaptive strategies were negative and significant. The results of this study confirm the significant relationship between resilience and cognitive emotion regulation strategies, consistent with findings from previous studies (Abedini et al, 2021;Azara et al, 2022;Liu et al, 2021;Mohamadiheris et al, 2021).…”

“…The research by Worden, Levi, Das et al (2019) shows that regulating emotions can reduce levels of stress, anxiety, and psychological problems (Worden et al, 2019). Although research indicates relationships between resilience and psychological optimism (Kheradmand et al, 2021;Maheshwari & Jutta, 2020), resilience and emotion regulation (Abedini et al, 2021;Azara et al, 2022;Liu et al, 2021;Mohamadiheris et al, 2021), and optimism and emotion regulation (Kheradmand et al, 2021;Krifa et al, 2022), no study has examined the relationship between these components in the proposed model of this research.…”

Evaluating the Emotion Regulation Program on Enhancing Family Resilience

“…Such training is seen as a pathway to developing critical abilities associated with resilience, which in turn leads to healthier relationships and a reduced susceptibility to depression (Mikolas et al, 2021). The established relationship between emotion regulation and resilience, where good self-regulation is linked to positive relationships and adaptability to challenges, further substantiates the value of emotion regulation training in fostering family resilience (Azara et al, 2022).…”

“…The cultivation of key resiliencerelated abilities, including emotion regulation, not only contributes to the formation of healthier interpersonal relationships but also reduces the risk of depression (Mikolas et al, 2021). This intricate relationship between emotion regulation and resilience is further explored in the literature, with effective self-regulation being closely associated with the ability to maintain positive relationships and adapt successfully to life's challenges (Azara et al, 2022).…”
