Experiencing positive emotions are now becoming one among the highest virtues. It becomes important for individuals to develop emotional intelligence competencies. There are many ways through which positive emotions can be reinforced. Modern psychology also encourages cultivation of emotional regulation capacity. This article describes modern as well as Ayurvedic mechanisms for emotional regulation to cultivate healthy emotion regulation competency. After database search from PUBMED, total 14 articles, 11 from modern psychiatry and 3 Ayurveda were reviewed and following results are obtained. There are five instances in which emotion regulation may occur: Situation Selection, Situation Modification, Attention Deployment, Cognitive Change and Response Modulation. Ayurveda observes that the main reason for mental disequilibrium is taking extreme or minimal stance in mano-arthas. Ayurveda perceive that dhee, dhriti and smrithi are tripods that helps a person regulate his inclination towards mano-arthas. Ayurveda advices certain conducts to be followed by every person irrespective of Manasa prakriti. Ayurveda insist to control certain urges and those urges are termed as dharaneeya vegas. It preached some conducts to strengthen dhee, dhrithi and smrithi and they can be collectively called sadvrittam. Sadvrittam advocates human to always engage in learning (education) all existing science, persuades a person with ultimate aim of salvation by following right conduct, incentivisation with incentives health and prosperity, coercion through fear of diseases, rebirths, bad offspring’s, training through detachment, restriction by morality, environmental restructuring by execution in community level, modelling by showing aptas and enablement by teaching it to every one irrespective of inequality.

The evaluation of emotion regulation has been focused on the cognitive component and the emotion dysregulation. However, it is also important to include emotion identification and modulation of the response for the evaluation of the regulatory process. The aim of this study was to develop a multidimensional measure of emotion regulation process in adolescents and to examine its factorial structure and reliability. An instrumental study was performed with 887 Mexican adolescents aged 13 to 18. A preliminary version of the Multidimensional Scale of Emotion Regulation for Adolescents (MSERA) was developed based on focus groups and considering the assumptions of the theoretical models. The exploratory factor analysis yielded 56 items distributed in eight factors: Recognition of positive emotions, Expression of positive emotions, Emotional control, Suppression, Cognitive change, Physical reactions, Recognition of negative emotions and Difficulty to regulate. A confirmatory factor analysis using the Robust Unweighted Least Squares, corroborated the initial solution of eight factors and showed acceptable fit indexes, considering 47 items. Ordinal alpha coefficients obtained for the factors of the final model, indicated a good internal consistency (.85-.95). Results suggest that the MSERA can be used as a valid and reliable measure of emotion regulation in adolescents.

The main objective of this paper is to explore the relations between emotional regulation and burnout among Romanian service employees, and to empirically validate the adequacy of emotional regulation model (Gross, 1998) to the emotional work paradigm. We were interested to clarify not only the relations among positive - negative affectivity of employees and their emotion regulation strategies (attention deployment, cognitive change and response modulation), but also the relations among these strategies and burnout. The empirical research was mainly based on questionnaires developed based on the previous literature in the field, and also on the data gathered directly from Romanian population. The results show that the positive affectivity of service employees relates to certain emotion regulation strategies and prevent burnout. Moreover, certain emotion regulation strategies also prevent burnout. In the end, some practical implications and directions for future research are discussed.

The process model of emotion regulation (ER) is based on stages in the emotion generative process at which regulation may occur. This meta-analysis examines age-related differences in the subjective, behavioral, and physiological outcomes of instructed ER strategies that may be initiated after an emotional event has occurred; attentional deployment, cognitive change, and response modulation. Within-process strategy, stimulus type, and valence were also tested as potential moderators of the effect of age on ER. A systematic search of the literature identified 156 relevant comparisons from 11 studies. Few age-related differences were found. In our analysis of the subjective outcome of response modulation strategies, young adults used expressive enhancement successfully (g = 0.48), but not expressive suppression (g = 0.04). Response modulation strategies had a small positive effect among older adults, and enhancement vs suppression did not moderate this success (g = 0.31 and g = 0.10, respectively). Young adults effectively used response modulation to regulate subjective emotion in response to pictures (g = 0.41) but not films (g = 0.01). Older adults were able to regulate in response to both pictures (g = 0.26) and films (g = 0.11). Interestingly, both age groups effectively used detached reappraisal, but not positive reappraisal to regulate emotional behavior. We conclude that, in line with well-established theories of socioemotional aging, there is a lack of evidence for age differences in the effects of instructed ER strategies, with some moderators suggesting more consistent effectiveness for older compared to younger adults.

Emotion regulation is a human adaptation process with important implications for daily life. Two specific emotion regulation strategies were the principle areas of study: reappraisal (cognitive change in which individuals adapt their state of mind about a given situation) and expressive suppression (response modulation in which individuals change their emotional response after its initiation). The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), that captures individual tendencies to reappraise and to suppress the expression of emotions, was also developed. Response modulation strategy was analyzed by considering two distinct processes: expressive suppression (down-regulation) and expressive enhancement (up-regulation). This latter modulation process has been less frequently studied by researchers. The present study investigates the psychometrical properties, individual differences and correlates of a French adapted version of the ERQ, which comprises reappraisal and the two response modulation tendencies – expressive suppression and expressive enhancement. Based on the initial ERQ, new items were created and added to the scale. The three-factor structure of the ERQ adapted was confirmed. As expected, emotion regulation is linked to individual differences: the tendency to reappraise has a positive low correlation with age; and men are significantly more disposed to suppress and to enhance than women. Finally, the tendency to suppress the expression of emotions is negatively correlated with extraversion, and the disposition to enhance the expression of emotions is negatively correlated with conscientiousness.

This study aims to empirically determine the emotional regulation of students at Al Muqoddasah High School, which focuses on the aspects of emotional regulation, factors that influence emotional regulation, and the patience of students. This research is a qualitative research with a study focused on emotion regulation and uses a phenomenological research design, and uses a Gross’s theory of emotion regulation as a reference in the analysis. The subjects of this study were one male student and one female student. The data collection technique is done by interview and documentation methods. Meanwhile, data analysis was performed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, verification, and conclusion drawing. The results of this study are the differences in aspects and emotional regulation factors possessed by the two students, as well as patience in dealing with existing problems. This study provides an overview of aspects of emotion regulation that affect the way students regulate their emotions; factors that affect emotion regulation such as the relationship between parents and children, gender, and interpersonal relationships; and patience of students as a form of regulation of positive emotions of students in dealing with the problems they have The conclusion of this study is that both students have aspects of emotional regulation and factors that influence emotional regulation, although both of these indicators are not owned by both of them as a whole, and the patience possessed by both students is not completely perfect.

The aim of this study is to examine validity of a Serbian adaptation of the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ: Gross & John, 2003). ERQ was based on Gross’ Process Model of Emotion Regulation, according to which emotion regulation can occur before and after the occurrence of emotional response. The questionnaire measures two strategies of emotional regulation: Cognitive Reappraisal (CR), which occurs before emotional response is fully generated and refers to reinterpretation of emotionally evoking situation, and Emotion Suppression (ES), which refers to regulation of already formed emotional response. In Study 1, carried out on 623 participants from the general population (35.5% male, mean age 27.97), a factor structure of the ERQ was examined. The results of a confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the best model assumes two factors – ES and CR, while CR had a bifactor structure. A part of the CR variance could be attributed to the method effect mainly derived from the items related to reappraisal of positive emotions. In Study 2, carried out on a sample of 223 students (30.5% male), divergent validity of the ERQ was examined in respect to correlation with the HEXACO dimensions of personality and the dimensions of affect. The correlations with the ERQ raw scores as well as the scores with the method effect partialled out were examined. Although the correlations with the partialized scores were slightly higher, generally, they were not different from the correlations with the raw scores. In other words, the method effect was practically negligible. ES was negatively related to Emotionality, Extraversion, and Positive Affect. CR was positively related to Extraversion and Positive Affect, and negatively to Negative Affect, confirming validity of the ERQ.

The aim of this review article is to show the benefits of broadening the understanding of the mechanism and treatment of music performance anxiety (MPA) using the knowledge of psychology of emotion and emotional regulation. A review of research literature on the emotional state of the musician during public performances and emotion regulation techniques fosters integration of various approaches: clinical psychology, performance psychology, positive psychology, and psychology of emotion and emotional regulation. Different ways of defining the phenomenon (MPA, optimal arousal, positive emotions, and mixed emotions) imply different directions of psychological intervention. The process model of emotion regulation developed by James J. Gross has been chosen because it is a clear-cut theoretical framework, enabling the integration of a number of theories and the development of comprehensive practical interventions. The benefit of the article is presenting the assumptions of the model, as well as knowledge of emotions and emotional regulation, to the context of musician’s psychological training and the performance preparation process.

Emotional eating is associated with an increased risk of binge eating, eating in the absence of hunger and obesity risk. While previous studies with children and adolescents suggest that emotion regulation may be a key predictor of this dysregulated eating behavior, little is known about what other factors may be influencing the link between emotional regulation and emotional eating in adolescence. This multi-method longitudinal study (n = 138) utilized linear regression models to examine associations between childhood emotion regulation, adolescent weight status and negative body image, and emotional eating at age 17. Emotion regulation predicted adolescent emotional eating and this link was moderated by weight status (β = 1.19, p < 0.01) and negative body image (β = −0.34, p < 0.01). Higher engagement in emotional eating was predicted by lower emotional regulation scores among normal-weight teens (β = −0.46, p < 0.001) but not among overweight/obese teens (β = 0.32, p > 0.10). Higher scores on emotion regulation were significantly associated with lower emotional eating at high (β = −1.59, p < 0.001) and low (β = −1.00, p < 0.01) levels of negative body image. Engagement in emotional eating was predicted by higher negative body image among overweight/obese teens only (β = 0.70, p < 0.001). Our findings show that while better childhood emotion regulation skills are associated with lower emotional eating, weight status and negative body image influence this link and should be considered as important foci in future interventions that aim to reduce emotional eating in adolescence.

The relative ability of four comedic sketches to induce amusement in the laboratory and its moderation by dispositional differences in experiential approach as a form of positive emotion regulation were investigated. College student participants reported significant and equivalent diminished levels of negative affect relative to baseline following each sketch, while the level of positive affect induced by The Office exceeded that elicited by two of the three other sketches as well as by a top-ranked French comedic film clip. Regression models indicated that the two subscales of the Experiential Approach Scale and their interaction accounted for significant variability in negative mood reductions following the sketches. Unexpectedly, college student participants who enjoyed the greatest decrement in negative affect reported a regulation style in which anxiously clinging to positive emotions dominates over sustaining and savoring them. The limitations of this project and implications of its findings for laboratory inductions of amusement, as well as further investigations of its possible moderation by experiential approach as form of positive emotion regulation are discussed.
