procedureDavidson (2000, 2004) describes emotion regulation in terms of affective style, specifically identifying five dynamics of affective chronometry: (1) the threshold to respond, (2) the magnitude of the response, (3) the rise time to the peak of the response, (4) the recovery function of the response, and (5) the duration of the response.
claimDispositional mindfulness may act as a marker for improved emotion regulation skills, according to research by Creswell et al. (2007).
claimStudies by Delgado et al. (2010), Levenson et al. (2012), and van den Hurk et al. (2010b) have demonstrated that meditation leads to decreased startle amplitude and other low-level bottom-up forms of emotion regulation.
claimAbnormal gray matter (GM) concentration or functional activity in the left subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) may indicate dysfunctional emotion regulation ability and a potential for developing depressive symptomology.
claimIncreased activity in the amygdala during compassion-related tasks may indicate regulatory states like equanimity, rather than contradicting traditional models of controlled emotion regulation.
claimThe S-ART framework identifies intention and motivation, attention regulation, emotion regulation, extinction and reconsolidation, prosociality, non-attachment, and decentering as supporting neuropsychological mechanisms.
claimEquanimity refers to response inhibition and emotion regulation processes that reduce later attentional and emotional stages of strategic processing, such as prolonged sympathetic arousal, cognitive elaboration, or rumination in response to distractions.
claimResponse-focused strategies for emotion regulation affect the output of the appraisal process by augmenting or suppressing behavioral manifestations of an emotional state, such as smiling, frowning, or experiential avoidance.
referenceBrain areas critical for their interactions with the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in emotion regulation include the amygdala, hippocampus, striatum (including the nucleus accumbens), thalamus, and insula.
claimMorphometric changes in the brain are associated with improved emotion regulation and extinction of fear, according to research by Milad et al. (2005) and Etkin et al. (2011).
claimAvoidance is a form of automatic and strategic emotion regulation that reduces elaborative or evaluative processing and deflates the threat value of stimuli.
referenceNorthoff (2005) questioned whether emotion regulation is equivalent to self-regulation.
claimMindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) affects emotion regulation in individuals with social anxiety disorder, as reported by Goldin and Gross (2010).
referenceTodd et al. (2012) discussed affect-biased attention as a form of emotion regulation in the journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences.
claimRegulation strategies are categorized in the literature as either automatic or controlled (Parkinson and Totterdell, 1999; McRae et al., 2011).
claimGross (1998) analyzed antecedent- and response-focused emotion regulation, noting their divergent consequences for experience, expression, and physiology.
referencePhillips, Ladouceur, and Drevets (2008) proposed a neural model of voluntary and automatic emotion regulation, applying it to the pathophysiology and neurodevelopment of bipolar disorder.
claimMindfulness training improves emotion or self-regulation skills, as evidenced by self-report, physiological, and neuroimaging methods (Baer et al., 2009; Carmody, 2009).
claimThe S-ART (Self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-transcendence) framework proposes six neurocognitive component mechanisms—intention and motivation, attention and emotion regulation, extinction and reconsolidation, prosociality, non-attachment, and de-centering—that are integrated and strengthened through intentional mental strategies to modulate networks of self-processing and reduce bias.
claimThe uncinate fasciculus is a tract of fibers connecting limbic structures to the prefrontal cortex that is highly plastic during development and critical for emotion regulation and transformation.
referenceThe S-ART (Self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-transcendence) framework identifies six component mechanisms underlying the practice and cultivation of mindfulness: intention and motivation, attention regulation, emotion regulation, memory extinction and reconsolidation, prosociality, and non-attachment and de-centering.
claimEmotion regulation is defined as the ability to shift the focus of attention at will and modulate ongoing emotional activity, such as decreasing elaborative processing of thoughts and feelings.
claimHolzel et al. (2011a) identified specific component mechanisms of mindfulness, including attention regulation, emotion regulation, body awareness, and a change in the perspective on the self.

referenceTomaso CC, Johnson AB, and Nelson TD performed three meta-analyses on the effect of sleep deprivation and restriction on mood, emotion, and emotion regulation, published in Sleep in 2021.
claimInsufficient sleep in children and preadolescents is associated with poorer emotion regulation, reduced academic achievement, and altered brain morphology.
claimGreater social jet lag negatively impacts multiple health domains, including academic performance, cognition, mental health, and emotion regulation.

Self-Consciousness - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy plato.stanford.edu Jul 13, 2017 1 fact
claimCritics of 'adualist' views argue that phenomena such as neonate imitation, joint attention, and emotion regulation demonstrate that infants possess an awareness of others as distinct entities from the beginning of life.

claimLong-term sleep deprivation causes a drastic decrease in mental faculties, including problem-solving skills, the ability to regulate emotions, decision-making, concentration, and learning capacity.
