Emotional self-regulation refers to an individual's ability to manage, control, and adjust their emotions in various life situations. This skill includes being aware of one's feelings, regulating emotional reactions, and using effective strategies to reduce stress and anxiety. Emotional self-regulation helps a person make better decisions when facing challenges and prevents impulsive behaviors. Timepoint: Based on the research design (a quasi-experimental design with pre-test, post-test, and a control group), the measurement of the research variables will be conducted at two time points:Pre-test: Before the implementation of the Autogenic Training therapy, data related to emotional self-regulation will be collected from both the experimental and control groups.Post-test: Immediately after the completion of the Autogenic Training sessions (after fourteen 90-minute sessions), the research variables will be measured again to examine any potential changes.
