Description

Our ability to regulate emotions is critical to our mental and physical well-being. In attempting to understand emotion regulation in humans, significant gaps remain in conceptualizing and defining distinct emotion regulation processes. To overcome these limitations, the researchers propose a multi-level framework to operationalize emotion regulation that draws on behavioral, cognitive, physiological and experiential reactions and appraisals to our environment.  A resulting four class solution is described along two dimensions of emotional regulation: the nature of the emotion regulation goal and the nature of the emotion change process. The core framework can assist in understanding the neural basis of emotion regulation and warrants future research for developing efficacious treatment programs.
