An Action Control Perspective on Emotion Regulation
Recent theorizing (Gross, 2015; Webb et al., 2012) has adopted an action control perspective on emotion regulation, suggesting that regulation involves (i) identifying the need to regulate, (ii) deciding whether and how to regulate, and (iii) enacting a regulation strategy. This symposium will present new empirical research testing these ideas.
