Abstract

Impulse control is a critical aspect of self-regulation that enables individuals to manage their urges, emotions, and behaviours in line with long-term goals and societal norms. During adolescence, a period marked by rapid physical, cognitive, and emotional development, teenagers often grapple with the complexities of impulse control as they navigate newfound freedoms, peer pressure, and identity exploration. In this article, we delve into the intricacies of impulse control in teenagers, examining its underlying mechanisms, challenges, and strategies for development.
