Abstract
We begin by briefly outlining what makes a given situation emotional. We then discuss how emotions develop in these special situations. Following that we discuss emotion regulation, which refers to the ways in which emotions can be altered or controlled. In doing so, we discuss past and present conceptions of emotion regulation with an emphasis on a process model of emotion regulation (Gross & Thompson, 2007). We then suggest additional relevant factors that determine the effectiveness of different emotion regulation strategies. These factors are arranged in a new framework to which we give direct empirical evidence. We conclude by offering future directions for better understanding emotion regulation.
