Abstract

This study examines the impact of role conflict on women of sandwich generation's psychological well-being and the need for emotional regulation in addressing it. The purpose of this study is to determine whether emotional regulation affects sandwich generation women's psychological well-being. The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), which measures emotional regulation, is the independent variable in this study. The Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS) is used to measure psychological well-being. The 119 participants in this study were chosen through the purposive sampling technique. The study's findings indicated that expressive suppression of emotional regulation had a significant negative impact on sandwich generation women's psychological well-being while emotional regulation—also known as cognitive reappraisal—had a significant positive influence.
