    Prosocial behavior is a fundamental element in the social and emotional development of adolescents and its manifestation can be influenced by emotional regulation. Therefore, the present study aimed to determine the relationship between prosocial behavior and the dimensions of emotional regulation in adolescents. The total sample consisted of 292 subjects: 56.51% males and 43.49% females between 15 and 18 years of age. The research used a quantitative, non-experimental, correlational and cross-sectional approach. For data collection, the Gross Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) and the Caprara Prosociality Scale were applied. The results showed a low positive correlation between prosocial behavior and cognitive reappraisal (Rho (290) = 0.389 p < 0.001) no relationship was found with emotional suppression; a predominance of medium level in prosocial behavior was identified, with 51.7%; Likewise, the medium level stood out in the cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression dimensions with 73.3% and 72.3% respectively; also, a significant difference was found between the means of prosocial behavior scores (U=8658 p<0. 05) in the female (M=59.7) and male (M=57.9) genders. It was evidenced that a greater use of the cognitive restructuring strategy increases the probability of manifestation of prosocial behaviors.
