The article "The Psychology of Emotion Regulation: An Integrative Review" by Sander L. Koole provides a comprehensive overview of modern research on emotion regulation. Emotion regulation is defined as the processes by which individuals manage their emotional states, distinct from emotional sensitivity, which is the onset of emotional responses. The article discusses various categories for classifying emotion-regulation strategies, focusing on their targets and functions. Targets of emotion regulation include attention, knowledge, and bodily responses, while functions include satisfying hedonic needs, supporting specific goals, and facilitating global personality system functioning. The review highlights the multidisciplinary nature of emotion regulation research and emphasizes the importance of integrating findings from developmental, cognitive, social, personality, and clinical psychology, as well as cognitive and affective neuroscience. The article also explores the distinction between emotional sensitivity and emotion regulation, noting that emotional sensitivity reflects the initial response to a situation, while emotion regulation involves subsequent monitoring and control processes. The review further examines the developmental paths of emotional sensitivity and emotion regulation, their functional differences, and the potential conflicts between different functions of emotion regulation. Finally, the article provides an empirical review of emotion-regulation strategies, discussing their effectiveness and individual differences in their use.The article "The Psychology of Emotion Regulation: An Integrative Review" by Sander L.
