    Emotional dependency is characterized as a persistent and excessive emotional attachment to another individual, often linked to low self-esteem that conceals underlying emotional deficiencies. In contrast, self-control refers to an individual's capacity to be aware of their emotions and actions, allowing them to regulate impulses and make deliberate decisions in daily life and social contexts. This study aimed to examine the relationship between emotional dependency and self-control in adolescents. A quantitative, correlational, non-experimental, and cross-sectional research design was adopted. The study utilized the Emotional Dependency Questionnaire (CDE) and the Brief Self-Control Scale (EAC-A) to assess the participants. A non-probabilistic convenience sampling method was applied, resulting in a sample of 154 adolescents aged 16 to 18 years. The findings revealed a significant negative correlation between emotional dependency and self-control. Furthermore, the analysis indicated a predominance of low self-control and high levels of emotional dependency among the adolescents. No statistically significant differences were observed in emotional dependency levels based on gender. In conclusion, the results demonstrate that higher levels of emotional dependency are associated with lower self-control in adolescents.
