Emerging adulthood is a term between adolescence and young adulthood and extending from (roughly) ages 18 to 25. The characteristics of the terms such as identity crises, instability, self- focus, and thinking styles effect the emerging adults’ perceptions, attributions, affects, and emotional management skills. In accordance with the developmental term, the aim of the study is to investigate the predictive power of negative-positive affects and interaction anxiety on emotions management skills in emerging adulthood. The sample consisted of 435 senior students who attended University of Marmara. 298 of them are women, 137 of them are men. Interaction Anxiousness Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Scale, Scale of Emotions Management Skills, and personal information sheets were used as measurements. The findings indicated that emotional management skills were correlated with interaction anxiousness and negative-positive affect. It was found that interaction anxiousness had a predictive power on emotional management skills. Results of regression showed that negative affect had the strongest effect on emotional management skills with the exception of coping subscales. On the other hand, it was seen that only coping skill was predicted by positive emotion.
