<![CDATA[Adolescence is a transitional stage characterized by physical, psychological, social, and emotional changes. During this stage, self-control is essential for adolescents to manage their emotions positively when facing academic and social demands. This study aims to determine the relationship between self-control and emotional management among Grade XI students at SMA Negeri 16 Makassar. The study employed a quantitative method with a correlational analytic design and a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of 410 Grade XI students, with a sample of 80 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using self-control and emotional management questionnaires and analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-Square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had a moderate level of self-control, with 68 respondents (85.0%), while 68 respondents (85.0%) also had a moderate level of emotional management. The Chi-Square analysis obtained a Pearson Chi-Square value of 62.206 with a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant relationship between self-control and emotional management. It can be concluded that better self-control is associated with better emotional management among students. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening self-control through student development programs to support adaptive emotional regulation skills.]]>
