TLDR
In this article, a review focuses on two widely used strategies for down-regulating emotion: Reappraisal and suppression, both of which come early in the emotion-generative process.Abstract:
Emotions seem to come and go as they please. However, we actually hold considerable sway over our emotions: We influence which emotions we have and how we experience and express these emotions. The process model of emotion regulation described here suggests that how we regulate our emotions matters. Regulatory strategies that act early in the emotion-generative process should have quite different outcomes than strategies that act later. This review focuses on two widely used strategies for down-regulating emotion. The first, reappraisal, comes early in the emotion-generative process. It consists of changing how we think about a situation in order to decrease its emotional impact. The second, suppression, comes later in the emotion-generative process. It involves inhibiting the outward signs of emotion. Theory and research suggest that reappraisal is more effective than suppression. Reappraisal decreases the experience and behavioral expression of emotion, and has no impact on memory. By contrast, suppress...read more

TL;DR: Five studies tested two general hypotheses: Individuals differ in their use of emotion regulation strategies such as reappraisal and suppression, and these individual differences have implications for affect, well-being, and social relationships.

TL;DR: A model of empathy that involves parallel and distributed processing in a number of dissociable computational mechanisms is proposed and may be used to make specific predictions about the various empathy deficits that can be encountered in different forms of social and neurological disorders.

Healthy and Unhealthy Emotion Regulation: Personality Processes, Individual Differences, and Life Span Development
Oliver P. John,James J. Gross +1 more
TL;DR: Reappraisal has a healthier profile of short-term affective, cognitive, and social consequences than suppression and issues in the development of reappraisal and suppression are considered to provide new evidence for an increasingly healthy emotion regulation profile during adulthood.
