The study of emotion regulation has been conducted at various developmental stages. However, the literature indicates a limited focus on the study of emotion regulation in emerging adults. To better understand the evolution of research on this topic, a bibliometric analysis was conducted. The bibliographic search was performed in the Core Collection of Web of Science. The bibliometric analysis was conducted using the software Hiscite, Bibexcel, Pajek, and Vosviewer. The results indicated a total of 447 publications since the conceptualization of emerging adulthood by 1359 different authors from 41 countries and 469 institutions (1994-2025). A publication increase was observed from 2012, with the United States and Canada leading the scientific production. This bibliometric analysis contributes to the current state of this topic and its evolution, being relevant to consider aspects for future research
