Process Model of Emotion Regulation

Also known as: Emotion regulation · Cognitive reappraisal · Expressive suppression · ERQ framework

Emotion regulation refers to the processes by which individuals influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express them. The process model distinguishes five families of strategies ordered by when they intervene in the emotion-generative process: situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, cognitive change (reappraisal), and response modulation (suppression). Reappraisal and suppression are the two strategies most studied because they represent early versus late intervention.
