<![CDATA[Evidence regarding the integrated role of social emotional competence and self-management in supporting adjustment among fatherless adolescents remains limited. This study systematically reviews the literature on social emotional competence, self-management, and adaptation among fatherless adolescents. It aimed to analyze the conceptualization and relationship between social emotional competence and self-management, factors influencing their development, their role in adolescent adaptation, and their enhancement through guidance, counseling, and psychotherapy. Studies published from 2021 to 2026 were systematically identified based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 68 studies in the final synthesis. The review revealed four main themes: the relationship between social emotional competence and self-management, factors influencing their development, their role in supporting adjustment, and the potential effectiveness of supportive interventions. Social emotional competence and self-management complement each other in emotion regulation, social relationships, behavioral control, and adjustment. These findings highlight the need for integrated guidance and counseling services and longitudinal intervention research.]]>
