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 that helps people understand and interact with others.
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?
During adolescence, social behavior changes partly because these brain regions are physically changing and reorganizing.
What are social-brain regions?
These mental skills help people control their behavior, plan, focus, and make decisions.
What are executive functions?
This brain region quickly reacts to emotional stimuli, especially fear.
What is the amygdala?
This brain network is especially involved in emotions, social experiences, and the desire for rewards.
What is the socio-emotional system?
This social ability involves identifying and understanding another person’s emotions, facial expressions, or intentions.
What is social recognition?
This executive function allows a person 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?
Associated with the tendency to affiliate with peers who engage in unhealthy risk behaviors for girls.
What is increased 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?
This executive function involves choosing between different options or possible actions.
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?
During adolescence, the socio-emotional system develops more quickly, while this system continues to mature into young adulthood.
What is the cognitive-control network?
This social-cognitive skill means imagining or understanding another person’s feelings and point of view.
What is perspective-taking?
This executive function allows someone to stop themselves from acting immediately on an impulse.
What is voluntary response inhibition?
