Abstract

The research aimed to: identify the relationship between emotion regulation , academic buoyancy, and academic Optimism and to verify the contribution of emotion regulation in predicting academic buoyancy and optimism in the research sample. The primary research sample consisted of (502) female students from the Faculty of Education for Girls in Cairo - Al-Azhar University. (200) of them were taken as a preliminary sample, and a primary sample of (302) was taken as the main sample. The Emotion Regulation Scale, Academic Buoyancy Scale, and Academic Optimism Scale (developed by the researcher) were used. The research found that there was a statistically significant correlation between emotion regulation and academic buoyancy in the research sample of university students, a statistically significant correlation between emotion regulation and academic optimism in the research sample of university students, and the possibility of predicting academic buoyancy and optimism in the research sample through the dimensions of emotion regulation.
