This study aimed to identify and measure the level of emotion management and flexible thinking, and to determine the level of these two variables according to gender (male-female). It also sought to establish the correlation between emotion management and flexible thinking among university students. The research sample consisted of 427 male and female students from the University of Mosul, distributed across five colleges and nine scientific and humanities departments. The researcher used the Emotion Management Scale (developed by the researcher) and adapted the Flexible Thinking Scale (developed by Al-Zamili, 2022) to suit the research sample. The researcher determined the psychometric properties of both scales and used a range of statistical methods, including the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), to analyze the results. Key methods included the one-sample t-test, the independent samples t-test, and Pearson\'s correlation coefficient. The results showed that university students possessed a good level of emotion management, but a level below the hypothetical mean in the flexible thinking variable. A positive correlation was also found between emotion management and flexible thinking.

Trade is one of the most important economic activities practiced by humans, and the city of Mosul, which is the base of the cities of the Euphrates Island, was famous for trading in various types of goods and merchandise. Mosul formed an important commercial center due to its diverse wealth and distinguished geographical location. It lies at the crossroads of major travel and trade routes between Persia, Iraq, the Levant, and Anatolia. Furthermore, its location on the Tigris River, whose tributaries converge at its banks into a thousand major waterways, undoubtedly enhanced its commercial capabilities. Mosul was also connected to other countries and cities by a network of transportation routes. It was a crossroads for many routes connecting it to neighboring regions and areas, some of them ancient. Over time, it transformed into an important city in the world of trade. What facilitated the activity of trade and made it easy to conduct was the abundance of roads and routes that merchants used to transport their goods between regions or cities. Mosul's commercial activity was reflected in the abundance, spread, and increasing growth of its markets, in order to meet the steadily growing need for local, regional, and international trade. Mosul was a center for the distribution of goods, and caravans departed from it to various cities and countries. Its products relied on plant, animal, and mineral raw materials abundant in Mosul and its surrounding areas. Among the goods traded were textiles and clothing, metal utensils, iron, bitumen, coal, and foodstuffs. The historical sources that spoke about Mosul from the third century AH to the ninth century AD varied, as did the historical and geographical information that those sources provided us about trade in Mosu.
