Abstract: (197 Views)

The aim of the present study was to predict social adaptation and difficulty in emotion regulation based on basic psychological needs and psychological capital in students. The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population in this study was students of secondary schools in Karaj in the academic year 2024-2025. In this study, 165 students were selected as a sample through convenience sampling. For evaluation, Sinha and Singh's Social Adaptation Questionnaire (SSAQ, 1993), Gertz and Romer's Difficulty in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS, 2004), LaGuardia et al.'s Basic Psychological Needs Questionnaire (BPNQ, 2000) and Luthans et al.'s Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ, 2007) were used. Pearson's correlation coefficient and multivariate regression were used to analyze the data. The results showed that basic psychological needs and psychological capitals are related to social adaptation and difficulty in emotion regulation in students (P<0.05). Basic psychological needs and psychological capitals explained a total of 73.3% of social adaptation and 70.6% of difficulty in emotion regulation (P<0.05). Accordingly, it is recommended that schools design educational environments in a way that can meet the basic psychological needs and psychological capital of students, as this can promote social adaptation and reduce difficulty in emotion regulation in students.

Keywords: Difficulty in Emotion Regulation, Social Adaptation, Psychological Capital, Basic Psychological Needs, Students.
