Evaluating the impact of emotional regulation on the pedagogical communication skills of students in educational training universities
Abstract
The study examines how these strategies affect three core components of pedagogical communication skills: establishing and maintaining communication relationships, exchanging cognitive, emotional, and behavioral information, and using language and communication tools. A survey was conducted with 352 students currently studying at 6 universities in Vietnam. The results show that cognitive reassessment had the strongest impact on communication skills and language use (β = 0.610). In contrast, emotional repression had the strongest effect on relationship-building and maintenance skills (β = 0.531). Therefore, the study provides empirical evidence that emotional regulation and pedagogical communication competence are two distinct but closely related constructs.
