This study examined the impact of emotional suppression and non-communication on coping strategies and moral development among teenagers. Emotional suppression and non-communication were independent variables, and coping strategies and moral development were dependent variables. Correlational research with non-probability purposive sampling was utilized for teenager adolescents (N=200, n=100 boys, n=100 girls) were included. Gender, socio-economic status, and age were also considered as demographic variables. Four standardized instruments were administered: the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (Gross & John, 2003), communicative competence scale (Wiemann, 1977), coping scale (Hamby et al., 2013), and moral foundations questionnaire-2 (Atari et al., 2023). SPSS was utilized in data analysis, including t-tests, correlation, and regression analysis. Findings indicated that emotional suppression has a significant impact on coping strategies as well as on moral development and its interaction with communication patterns. The study concludes with the established limitations, practical implications, and future research recommendations.
