ABSTRACT
The aims of this study are to verify the relationship between perceived parental psychological support, emotion regulation, and interpersonal competence in college students, and to confirm the mediating effect of emotion regulation in the relationship between pa-rental psychological support and interpersonal competency. The questionnaire used in the study included measures of perceived parental psychological support, interpersonal com-petence, and emotion regulation, and data were collected from 211 participants through an online survey. As a result of the study, a significant positive correlation was con-firmedbetween perceived parental psychological support, emotional regulation, and in-terpersonal competency(relationship building competency, leadership competency, and cooperation competency) in college students. Also, emotion regulation was confirmed to fully mediate the relationship between perceived parental psychological support and in-terpersonal relationship competencies(relationship building competency, leadership competency, and cooperation competency) in college students. Considering the results of this study, counseling or educational intervention to strengthen emotion regulation can be an effective strategy for improving college students' interpersonal competence.
