The research employed a quantitative approach using a correlational design with simple linear regression analysis. The population consisted of fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-grade students, with a total sample of 48 students selected using the total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires measuring guidance and counseling services and students' emotional regulation.

The descriptive analysis showed that the mean score of guidance and counseling services was 84.38, indicating a high category, while the mean score of students' emotional regulation was 82.71, indicating a good category. The prerequisite tests confirmed that the data were normally distributed and that the relationship between variables was linear. Hypothesis testing using simple linear regression produced a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) with the regression equation Y = 28.642 + 0.641X, indicating that guidance and counseling services had a positive and significant effect on students' emotional regulation. The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.428) revealed that guidance and counseling services contributed 42.8% to students' emotional regulation, while the remaining 57.2% was influenced by other factors. Therefore, guidance and counseling services play an important role in developing students' emotional regulation and supporting their social and emotional development in elementary schools.]]>
