{"abstract":"This study investigated how late adolescents in the Philippines use ChatGPT for emotional expression and self-regulation, addressing limited empirical evidence on this topic among Filipino late adolescents. It focused on ChatGPT usage frequency, perceived emotional safety, reported utility, and level of involvement, and assessed emotional self-regulation using criteria such as awareness, clarity, and control. A quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational design was used with 135 late adolescent respondents aged 17 to 19 years from a private university in Baguio City. Data were collected using the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and the ChatGPT-as-Diary Use Scale (CDUS). Statistical analyses included mean, standard deviation, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple regression. Results showed low use of ChatGPT for emotional venting (M = 2.45, SD = 1.13), with perceived emotional safety (M = 2.90, SD = 1.18), perceived usefulness (M = 2.73, SD = 1.12), and engagement (M = 2.49, SD = 1.10) rated at moderate levels. Respondents demonstrated high emotional self-regulation, particularly in cognitive reappraisal (M = 3.84, SD = 0.70) and expressive suppression (M = 3.57, SD = 0.73). A weak but statistically significant positive relationship was found between ChatGPT use and emotional self-regulation (r = .25, p = .003). However, multiple regression analysis indicated that ChatGPT use dimensions did not significantly predict emotional self-regulation (R² = .067, F(4,129) = 2.31, p = .061). These findings suggest ChatGPT's impact on emotional self-regulation among Filipino late adolescents is minimal, despite its potential as a supplementary tool for emotional expression.","abstract_source":"gemini_shortened","authors":["Maria Luisa Mirano","Francis Michael Yambao"],"date":"2026-08-15","doi":"10.70838/pemj.610603","id":9267,"issue":6,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"add93ef8eea2826975dafff29e6400262c1391e2cfb6a02ce4a9eafe774002c3","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"ChatGPT as an Emotional Venting Tool: Its Relationship with Emotional Self-Regulation Among Filipino Late Adolescents","volume":61}
