Abstract

Studying abroad, the complexity, and uncertainty of university challenges, such as academic workload, finance, examinations, family economic instability, unemployment, societal insecurity, and emotional, and mental health, students are subjected to stress which threatens their psychological well-being. Hence, students’ strong awareness and use of emotional self-regulation could benefit them in reducing the impact of stress, negative thinking, and feelings, and improvement of their psychological wellbeing.
