Abstract
This study examined the relationship between father involvement and emotion regulation difficulties among Minangkabau adolescent girls, with psychological well-being as a mediator. Participants were 433 female adolescents aged 12–18 years who completed standardized self-report measures of father involvement, psychological well-being, and emotion regulation difficulties. Results showed that higher father involvement was associated with fewer emotion regulation difficulties and greater psychological well-being. Psychological well-being was strongly and negatively related to emotion regulation difficulties. Mediation analysis indicated that psychological well-being partially mediated the relationship between father involvement and emotion regulation difficulties. These findings highlight the central role of psychological well-being in adolescent emotional adjustment and underscore the importance of father involvement within a matrilineal cultural context.
