Abstract: (56 Views)

This study aimed to predict emotional maturity based on impulsivity and emotion regulation in individuals with tattoos. The present research was a descriptive-correlational study of the regression analysis type. The statistical population consisted of tattooed individuals in Tehran in 2025. Using a convenience sampling method, a sample of 170 participants was selected. The instruments employed in this study included the Emotional Maturity Scale (EMS; Singh & Bhargava, 1990), the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS-11; Patton et al., 1995), and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ; Gross & John, 2003). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis. The findings indicated that all components of impulsivity and the suppression component of emotion regulation were significantly and negatively associated with emotional maturity, with higher scores in impulsivity and suppression being related to greater emotional instability. Moreover, the cognitive reappraisal component of emotion regulation was significantly positively correlated with emotional maturity, with higher scores in this variable associated with greater emotional stability (p<.01). Furthermore, impulsivity and emotion regulation together were able to predict the criterion variable, explaining 57% of the variance in emotional maturity among individuals with tattoos (p<.001). These results indicate that impulsivity and emotional suppression were associated with instability in emotional maturity, whereas cognitive reappraisal was linked to greater emotional stability.
