The study aimed at examining the relationship between emotion regulation and social competence
among 220 Jordanian kindergarten children (110 female, 110 male). Two research instruments
were applied: The Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Preschool Edition (SCBE) and the
Emotion Regulation Checklist (ERC). The study results revealed that there is an average level of
emotion regulation and an average level of social competence among the participants. There was a
statistically significant relationship between children’s emotion regulation competence and their
social competence, as correlation between emotion regulation and each of the social competence
subscales (general adaptation, overall emotional adjustment, social interactions with peers, and
social interactions with adults) was high and statistically significant. Finally, the results revealed
that there was no statistically significant gender discrepancy in the relationship between emotion
regulation and social competence. Implications and future research recommendations were
discussed.
