What is Emotional Regulation?
Emotional regulation is the process by which people control which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express those emotions. Emotional regulation can be automatic or controlled, conscious or unconscious, and it can have an impact at one or more stages of the emotion-producing process. Emotional regulation means being able to select and present the appropriate emotions to the demands of everyday life and able to express it more clearly.
