The present study aimed to investigate the role of emotional dysregulation in predicting social and emotional loneliness among university students, considering gender as a moderating variable. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational methodology, 152 students from Mashhad were chosen through convenience sampling. Data collection was conducted digitally via social media platforms. The Barkley Deficits in Executive Functioning Scale (BDEFS) and the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA-S) served as the instruments for gathering data. Multiple regression and Fisher's z test were used to analyze the data. Findings indicated a significant inverse association between emotional dysregulation and both forms of loneliness within the cohort. While a stronger association was observed between emotional dysregulation and social loneliness compared to emotional loneliness, this difference did not reach statistical significance (P< 0.05). Furthermore, emotional dysregulation significantly predicted both social and emotional loneliness in female students, whereas it was only significantly associated with social loneliness in male students. No notable difference was detected in the association of emotional dysregulation with loneliness types among females (P< 0.05). However, a significant difference was observed in this relationship among male students. (P < 0.05). The data suggests that emotional dysregulation may affect social and emotional loneliness, with a pronounced impact on females.
