<![CDATA[This study aims to determine differences in emotion regulation among university students in Tangerang City based on gender. A quantitative approach with a comparative design was employed. Non-probability sampling specifically purposive sampling was used to select the sample. The study involved 100 respondents, comprising 50 male and 50 female students. Data were collected using an emotion regulation scale. Normality testing using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test with the Monte Carlo approach (at a 95% confidence level) yielded a significance value of 0.223, indicating that the emotion regulation data were normally distributed. Homogeneity testing using Levene's Test resulted in a significance value of 0.177, indicating that the variances of the two groups were homogeneous. As the data met the assumptions of normality and homogeneity, an Independent Samples t-Test was conducted to examine differences. The test results showed a t-value of 1.153 with a significance value of p=0.252 (sig. > 0.05). Thus, there is no significant difference in emotion regulation between male and female students in Tangerang City. Descriptively, cross-tabulation results showed that 44.0% of male students exhibited high emotion regulation, compared to 38.0% of female students. In the low category, the figures were 56.0% for male students and 62.0% for female students. Meanwhile, regarding age groups, low emotion regulation was more prevalent in the 21–23 age group (65.9%) than in the 18–20 age group (53.6%). Future research is advised to consider other psychological and environmental factors related to emotion regulation and to broaden respondent characteristics to obtain more comprehensive results. It is also recommended that future studies include additional variables, such as academic stress or social support, to deepen the analysis.]]>
