Strategies of emotion regulation in students – future human relations professionals

In the presented study, selected emotion regulation (ER) strategies were designed in accordance with Gross and Th ompson’s model. Students of primary education (n = 116), social pedagogy (n = 72) and preschool education (n = 54) – future human relations professionals – assessed the frequency of the use and effi - ciency of these ER strategies. Students use various ER strategies, the most frequent and effi cient being physical activation and social support, and the least frequent and effi cient being substance use. Correlations between the use and effi ciency of ER strategies within the groups of students are mostly moderately high or high. Th ere are only a few diff erences between the student groups in terms of perception of the use and effi ciency of ER strategies
