Miroljub Ivanović, Uglješa Ivanović
Abstract: 
Abstract: The aim of this research was to examine partial contribution of individual characteristics of both male and female volleyball players and emotional atmosphere in a family in interpreting emotional regulation constructs. 286 examinees, aged 16-17, have taken part in the research (142 male and 144 female cadets). Applied measuring instruments (Emotional regulation and control questionnaire, Parental Behavior Perception Scale, Children’s Perception of Interparental Conflict Scale, Questionnaire of Temperament in Early Adolescence and Pubertal Development Scale). Achieved results have shown that individual characteristics and temperament dimensions are significant determinants of male and female volleyball players’ emotional regulation. Adolescents with intensive self control have minimally manifested negative emotions and their emotions were more efficiently controlled. Dimensions of parental behavior statistically and significantly influenced interpretation of emotional regulation construct, especially one of the male players. Male volleyball players who perceived higher level of mother’s control and father’s rejection predictor variables were less successfull in their emotions control.
