Abstract

This systematic review synthesized evidence on emotional, metacognitive, and social regulation competencies in at-risk adolescents and their associations with social well-being. Across 45 empirical studies, regulation consistently emerged as a key mechanism linking contextual adversity to empathy, belonging, resilience, and psychosocial outcomes. Neurophysiological measures provided emerging mechanistic insights into affective and stress-related processes but were rarely integrated with behavioral and social outcomes.
