Academic pressure experienced by early adult university students frequently triggers negative emotional responses such as anxiety and stress, which can impair learning concentration. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of listening to Rhythm and Blues (R&B) music in enhancing emotion regulation among students of Politeknik Negeri Pontianak when facing academic pressure. A quantitative experimental approach with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design was employed. The subjects consisted of 18 students from the Automotive Business Administration Study Program, selected through purposive sampling criteria: possessing a moderate level of emotion regulation and an affinity for R&B music. Data were collected using an Emotion Regulation Scale constructed based on emotion monitoring, emotion evaluating, and emotion modification aspects, exhibiting a high Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.948. The intervention spanned seven sessions, incorporating R&B playlist listening, psychoeducation, short film screening and self-reflection. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample t-Test. The results revealed an increase in the mean emotion regulation score from 146.22 (pre-test) to 149.17 (post-test) with t = -3.360 and a significance value of p = 0.004 (p < 0.05). These findings demonstrate that listening to Rhythm and Blues (R&B) music is effective in enhancing emotion regulation among students at Politeknik Negeri Pontianak facing academic pressure.
