    (UMT, Lahore, 2024) Shaher Bano
    The current study aimed to determine the relationship between Emotion Regulation, Career Decision-Making Difficulties, and Mental Health Problems in Young Adults. By using multistage sampling, a sample of 298 students was recruited from government and private universities in Lahore, Pakistan. To collect empirical data, the Emotion Regulation Scale for University Students, the Career Decision-Making Difficulties Questionnaire, and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale were applied. The findings showed that emotion regulation was non-significantly correlated with young adults' career choices. Results revealed that there was a significant positive relationship between career decision-making difficulties and mental health problems in young adults and simultaneously a non-significant negative relationship between emotion regulation and mental health problems in young adults. Results also revealed that there were more career decision-making difficulties among government university students, the participants of the first semester had high career decision-making difficulties and the participants of the second semester had high mental health problems as compared to the first, third, and fourth semesters. Moreover, the study suggests improving mental health outcomes for young adults by providing emotion regulation training and counseling services to help students identify their interests and career paths more effectively.
