Estrés académico y regulación emocional en estudiantes universitarios del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito, durante los meses de octubre del 2025 a enero del 2026.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between emotional regulation and academic stress among university students in Quito. A descriptive-correlational approach was applied to a sample of 88 valid participants, who completed the SISCO SV-21 Inventory and the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). The results indicated that these university students experience severe levels of academic stress, and their most common coping strategy was cognitive reappraisal. Furthermore, a weak negative correlation (0.085) was identified between academic stress and cognitive reappraisal; therefore, it cannot be confirmed that a direct relationship exists between the factors mentioned above
