Abstract
Parents who have children with disabilities will face more difficult challenges in the parenting process. In raising children, both parents are equally responsible. The occurrence of conflict among parents who have children with special needs can cause differences in understanding of the child's needs. Parents need to have practical emotion regulation skills to manage conflict. This research aims to determine the influence of emotional regulation on marital conflict in parents of children with special needs. This research is quantitative research using accidental sampling techniques, and the research sample is 152 people, with the criteria being parents who have children with special needs aged 6 - 15 years. The scales used are The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and the Kansas Marital Conflict Scale (KMCS). The research results obtained show that there is an influence of the emotional regulation variable on marital conflict in parents who have children with special needs (ABK) with a significance value (p) of 0.036 < 0.05. These results indicate that the higher an individual's emotional regulation ability, the lower the marital conflict.

Abstrak
Orang tua yang memiliki anak dengan keterbatasan akan menghadapi tantangan yang lebih berat dalam proses pengasuhan. Dalam mengasuh anak, kedua orang tua bertanggung jawab sama besar perannya. Terjadinya konflik pada orang tua yang memiliki anak berkebutuhan khusus dapat disebabkan oleh perbedaan pemahaman mengenai kebutuhan anak. Penting bagi orang tua untuk memiliki keterampilan regulasi emosi yang efektif untuk mengelola konflik. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh regulasi emosi terhadap konflik marital pada orang tua anak berkebutuhan khusus. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kuantitatif dengan teknik accidental sampling dan sampel penelitian berjumlah 152 orang dengan kriteria orang tua yang memiliki Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus (ABK) berusia 6 – 15 tahun. Skala yang digunakan adalah The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) dan Kansas Marital Conflict Scale (KMCS). Hasil penelitian yang didapatkan adalah terdapat pengaruh variabel regulasi emosi terhadap konflik marital pada orang tua yang memiliki Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus (ABK) dengan nilai signifikansi (p) sebesar 0.036 < 0,05. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi kemampuan regulasi emosi pada individu maka semakin rendah konflik marital yang akan terjadi.
