Path analysis was used to examine the affection.  The Results showed that in terms of direct effects, the standard beta of the path from national Pride to of emotion regulation positive Strategy and emotion regulation negative strategy at the level (p ‹0.01) was significant. Standard beta of the path from national Pride to social Adjustment and from emotion regulation positive Strategy to social Adjustment is significant at the level (p ‹0.01), but the effect of negative emotion regulation strategy on students' social adjustment is only significant at the level (p ‹0.05).
