Emotion Regulation Theories
This model, developed by James Gross, outlines how individuals can regulate emotions at different points in the emotion generation process.
Process Model of Emotion Regulation
This developmental period is marked by significant changes in emotional awareness and regulation abilities.
Adolescence
Emotion regulation difficulties are often linked to this anxiety disorder
GAD
This strategy, part of the Gross Process Model, involves changing how one thinks about a situation to alter its emotional significance.
Cognitive reappraisal
What is Krystyna's dog's name?
Poppy, Penelope
This model, developed by Gross, emphasizes the importance of situational context in regulating emotions.
The Extended Process Model
The maturation of this brain region in adolescence plays a key role in the development of emotion regulation.
Prefrontal Cortex
What disorder involves: overrepresenting subtle signs of current emotional state and yields increased regulatory efforts that may be unnecessary or maladaptive (in identification, perception stage)
Panic Disorder
This emotion regulation strategy involves avoiding or diverting attention away from an emotional stimulus.
Distraction, attention deployment
What is Paulo's lab?
SELF Regulation Lab
Explain valuation
good for me/bad for me, dynamic process
What two abilities did we discuss in the context of adolescence?
Effectiveness, goal-pursuit
What psychopathology was discussed within the selection stage?
suicide, non suicidal self injury, autism, alcohol use
This emotion regulation strategy, often maladaptive, involves pushing away emotions or hiding emotional responses.
Suppression
What room are we in right now?

Name the 5 stages of the Gross Process model
Situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, cognitive change, response modulation.
Fombouchet et al. (2023) highlight this developmental factor as key for emotion regulation across adolescence.
Executive functioning
This disorder is linked to difficulties in the implementation stage.
ADHD
This strategy involves modifying one’s behavior or situation to reduce emotional intensity, often used in response to stress
Situation modification

Explain the substeps/stages of the Extended Process Model
Identification, Selection, Implementation -> perception, valuation, action
This type of regulatory strategy becomes more adaptive and flexible with age during adolescence, while this type is present earlier in development.
Cognitive reappraisal; expressive suppression
Name two specific stages that emotion regulation difficulties can be apparent in depression
Identification: action: (Learned helplessness in depression, depressive episode can be maintained/prolonged by not transforming into an action the sufficiently high negative value given to the depressed state or the sufficiently high positive value given to the desired regulated state)
Implementation: action (Tactic of recalling happy memories to improve mood is impaired)
This type of regulation, which occurs after an emotion is fully experienced, focuses on altering physiological or experiential responses.
Response modulation
