Emotional Regulation
Regulation of emotions is a process by which individuals influence the emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express those emotions. Emotional regulation itself is divided into two parts:
What is explicit and implicit emotional regulation?
This social influence can make it more difficult for an adolescent to make safe decisions.
What is peer pressure?
This term refers to the network of brain regions involved in social cognition, which enables the recognition of others and the evaluation of mental states, feelings, and actions.
What is the social brain?
During adolescence, brain reorganization is connected to major changes in these two areas.
What are emotional and cognitive changes?
This type of emotion regulation involves consciously making an effort to control emotions.
What is explicit emotion regulation?
This type of risk-taking is safe and adaptive, helping adolescents learn, grow, and develop.
What is healthy risk-taking?
This social ability involves identifying and understanding another person’s emotions, facial expressions, or intentions.
What is social recognition?
This executive function is the ability to temporarily hold information in your mind and use it while completing a task.
What is working memory?
This brain region quickly reacts to emotional stimuli, especially fear.
What is the amygdala?
At the onset of puberty, adolescent boys produce more of this hormone associated with sensation seeking and aggressive risk-taking.
What is testosterone?
This ability helps adolescents understand how other people may see them and adjust their behavior to fit a social situation.
What is self-awareness?
Ability to focus on important information while ignoring distractions.
What is selective attention?
The developmental difference between faster emotional reactivity and slower self-control is known as this emotional neural model.
What is the imbalance model?
This network, which is particularly important for seeking and sensitivity to rewards, develops more quickly and is more active during adolescence than during childhood or adulthood.
What is the socio-emotional system?
Such as embarrassment or guilt, are emotions that require the consideration of other people's beliefs, feelings, or desires.
What are social emotions?
This executive function involves the ability to consider choices and their consequences.
What is decision-making?
During adolescence, emotional brain areas develop earlier than this brain region, which helps with planning, judgment, and self-control.
What is the prefrontal cortex?
Engages the prefrontal cortex, develops more slowly and continues to mature over the course of adolescence and into young adulthood.
What is the cognitive-control network?
During adolescence, social behavior changes partly because these brain regions are physically changing and reorganizing.
What are social-brain regions?
This executive function is the ability to stop or control an automatic response or impulse when it is not appropriate.
What is voluntary response inhibition?
