<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Adolescence is a relatively vulnerable transitional phase characterized by intense emotional fluctuations. During this stage, emotion regulation skills are essential for preventing psychological problems. Therefore, this study aims to integrate scientific findings regarding adolescents’ emotion regulation abilities within single-mother families. This study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method guided by the 2020 PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol. The literature search was conducted through reputable databases, including Google Scholar, APA, Scopus, Semantic Scholar, and Taylor & Francis, to identify primary articles published between 2020 and 2025. The search strategy was developed using the PCC (Population, Concept, Context) framework to ensure the relevance of the population, the concept of emotion regulation, and the context of single-mother families throughout the article identification process. Following quality appraisal using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), 16 articles were included in the analysis using a narrative synthesis approach. The results showed that the absence of a father requires adolescents to adapt more rapidly. Factors determining adolescents’ emotion regulation abilities include family functioning through democratic parenting, attachment to the mother, and the adaptive use of cognitive appraisal strategies. These findings are important for reducing negative social stigma toward children living in single-mother families and promoting empowering intervention approaches. ABSTRAK Masa remaja adalah fase transisi yang cukup rentan, ditandai dengan munculnya gejolak emosi yang intens, pada fase ini kemampuan regulasi emosi sangat penting untuk mencegah masalah psikologis.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Systematic Literature Review (SLR) yang berpedoman pada protokol PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic and Meta-Analyses) 2020. Pencarian literatur dilakukan melalui basis data bereputasi seperti Google Scholar, APA, Scopus, Semantic Scholar, dan Taylor & Francis untuk artikel primer yang diterbitkan pada rentang 2020-2025. Strategi pencarian disusun menggunakan kerangka PCC (Population, Concept, Context) untuk memastikan kesesuaian populasi, konsep regulasi emosi, dan konteks keluarga ibu single parent dalam proses identifikasi artikel. Setelah melalui proses seleksi kelayakan kualitas menggunakan Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), sebanyak 16 artikel dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan sintesis naratif. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa ketiadaan ayah menuntut remaja beradaptasi lebih cepat. Faktor yang menjadi penentu kemampuan regulasi emosi meliputi keberfungsian keluarga melalui pola asuh demokratis, kelekatan dengan ibu, penggunaan strategi cognitive appraisal secara adaptif. Hasil penelitian ini sangat penting untuk menghapus stigma negatif masyarakat terhadap anak yang tinggal dengan ibu single parent dan mendorong pendekatan intervensi yang memberdayakan.]]>
