What does it mean to modulate emotions?
Emotion modulation is changing the input-output relation between one of the (cognitive level) emotion components and subsequent (cognitive) component(s) in the process.
What is an example of emotional regulation?
When your child has a meltdown, you may feel angry or even amused, but instead of yelling or laughing, you regulate your emotions in order to talk to your child calmly about how she could react instead. This is referred to as extrinsic emotion regulation.
What does affect modulation mean?
DESCRIPTION. Affect regulation, or emotion regulation, is the ability of an individual to modulate their emotional state in order to adaptively meet the demands of their environment. Individuals with a broad range of affect regulation strategies are able to flexibly adapt to a range of stressful situations.
What are the two forms of emotional regulation?
The process model also divides these emotion regulation strategies into two categories: antecedent-focused and response-focused. Antecedent-focused strategies (i.e., situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, and cognitive change) occur before an emotional response is fully generated.
