Emotional self-regulation or regulation of emotion is the ability to respond to the ongoing demands of experience with the range of emotions in a manner that is socially tolerable and sufficiently flexible to permit spontaneous reactions as well as the ability to delay spontaneous reactions as needed. It can also be defined as extrinsic and intrinsic processes responsible for monitoring, evaluating, and modifying emotional reactions.[2] Emotion self-regulation belongs to the broader set of emotion-regulation processes, which includes the regulation of one's own feelings and the regulation of other people's feelings.

Emotional regulation is a complex process that involves initiating, inhibiting, or modulating one's state or behavior in a given situation – for example the subjective experience (feelings), cognitive responses (thoughts), emotion-related physiological responses (for example heart rate or hormonal activity), and emotion-related behavior (bodily actions or expressions). Functionally, emotional regulation can also refer to processes such as the tendency to focus one's attention to a task and the ability to suppress inappropriate behavior under instruction. Emotional regulation is a highly significant function in human life.

Emotional obesity is another way of saying we have unhealthy emotional habits. Physical fitness occurs when we create healthy habits around food and exercise. ... An emotional habit begins with becoming aware of the noise in our heads – the endless chattering in our minds based in anger and fear.

Regulation of emotion describes ways that people attempt to regulate their emotions, for instance by denying, intensifying, weakening, curtailing, masking, or completely hiding them. Emotion regulation can also be described as the process in which people modify their emotional reactions—the coping processes that increase or decrease the intensity of the moment.

Human lives can be divided into three major stages: childhood, adolescence and adulthood. During each of these phases regulation of emotions drastically improves. There are individual differences in the way people regulate their emotions and in how well they do it. People who are good at it are seen as more emotionally intelligent. Emotion regulation is essential to socialization and is dependent on the culture one lives in as well as the specific social context of the situation.

The process of regulating emotions is complex, and involves four stages:

internal feeling states (i.e. the subjective experience of emotion)

emotion-related cognitions (e.g. thought reactions to a situation)

emotion-related physiological processes (e.g. heart rate, hormonal, or other physiological reactions)

emotion-related behavior (e.g. actions or facial expressions related to emotion).

Strong emotional reactions are not always desirable, may be inconsistent with social norms, or may cause physical or psychological suffering. Thus people attempt to inhibit undesirable or painful emotions and enhance desirable or pleasant emotions.

Emotion is any conscious experiencecharacterized by intense mental activity and a certain degree of pleasure or displeasure Scientific discourse has drifted to other meanings and there is no consensus on a definition. Emotion is often intertwined with mood, temperament, personality, disposition, and motivation.[6] In some theories, cognition is an important aspect of emotion. Those acting primarily on the emotions they are feeling may seem as if they are not thinking, but mental processes are still essential, particularly in the interpretation of events. For example, the realization of our believing that we are in a dangerous situation and the subsequent arousal of our body's nervous system (rapid heartbeat and breathing, sweating, muscle tension) is integral to the experience of our feeling afraid. Other theories, however, claim that emotion is separate from and can precede cognition.

Emotions are complex. According to some theories, they are states of feeling that result in physical and psychological changes that influence our behavior.[5] The physiology of emotion is closely linked to arousal of the nervous system with various states and strengths of arousal relating, apparently, to particular emotions. Emotion is also linked to behavioral tendency. Extroverted people are more likely to be social and express their emotions, while introverted people are more likely to be more socially withdrawn and conceal their emotions. Emotion is often the driving force behind motivation, positive or negative.[7] According to other theories, emotions are not causal forces but simply syndromes of components, which might include motivation, feeling, behavior, and physiological changes, but no one of these components is the emotion. Nor is the emotion an entity that causes these components.

Emotions involve different components, such as subjective experience, cognitive processes, expressive behavior, psychophysiological changes, and instrumental behavior. At one time, academics attempted to identify the emotion with one of the components: William James with a subjective experience, behaviorists with instrumental behavior, psychophysiologists with physiological changes, and so on. More recently, emotion is said to consist of all the components. The different components of emotion are categorized somewhat differently depending on the academic discipline. In psychology and philosophy, emotion typically includes a subjective, conscious experience characterized primarily by psychophysiological expressions, biological reactions, and mental states. A similar multicomponential description of emotion is found in sociology. For example, Peggy Thoits described emotions as involving physiological components, cultural or emotional labels (anger, surprise, etc.), expressive body actions, and the appraisal of situations and contexts.

Agreed perfectly with a look Dhia Taain

Thank you very much dear colleagues

Regulation of emotion is a skill (I lack it) to behave as sophisticated like a con artist ...

Emotional habits - eating ice creams , chocolates and chips when stressed ( I do it a lot )

I agree with Asaad Ali Karam

Agree with Aparna.

Hello,

Generally speaking, emotional regulation is one of the behavioral skills required for reliable emotional well being. Through self-regulation, we are able to act in an appropriate manner which is to our best interest and is consistent with our moral and ethical values. As such, emotional regulation is in fact the ability to preserve one's composure when one is upset and and agitated. By contrast, emotional habits are those habit that are ingrained in our mind by conscious practicing of emotionally based intelligent behaviors . Emotional habits are in fact a significant part of our emotional intelligence which automatically energize us to do things as efficiently as possible by transmitting chemical signals to the muscles and organs of the body in order to prepare us for socially acceptable behaviors.

Best regards,

We all experience times when our emotions control our actions. When this happens, we often regret the things we do. There are techniques, such as meditation and like mood improvement that can help in this regard. Emotional regulation is concerned with optimizing the adaptive value of emotions.

Thank you very much dear colleagues

EMOTIONAL REGULATION:

Emotional regulation is a complex process that involves initiating, inhibiting, or modulating one's state or behavior in a given situation – for example the subjective experience (feelings), cognitive responses (thoughts), emotion-related physiological responses (for example heart rate or hormonal activity)

Emotional self-regulation or regulation of emotion is the ability to respond to the ongoing demands of experience with the range of emotions in a manner that is socially tolerable and sufficiently flexible to permit spontaneous reactions as well as the ability to delay spontaneous reactions as needed.

EMOTIONAL HABITS:

1. They’re relentlessly positive.

2. They have a robust emotional vocabulary.

3. They’re assertive.

4. They’re curious about other people.

5. They forgive, but they don’t forget.

6. They won’t let anyone limit their joy.

7. They make things fun.

8. They are difficult to offend.

9. They quash negative self-talk.

Hi, In my opinion

• Emotional self-regulation or regulation of emotion is the ability to respond to the ongoing demands of experience with the range of emotions in a manner that is socially tolerable and sufficiently flexible to permit spontaneous reactions as well as the ability to delay spontaneous reactions as needed.
• Emotional habits when I am starting to think that people, as they grow up, develop a habit of responding to whatever happens to them from the same emotional place. I think there are three primary emotions—fear, grief, and anger. But over time people come to rely on one emotional color as their baseline response to new information. So there are people who are fear-based, grief-based, or anger-based."

thanks

agreed with Mutasem Z. Bani-Fwaz

Prof. Mutasem is right. All behavioral actions that stern from our emotions/feelings, positive or negative which are perpetually part of our lives such as the exhibition of love, anger, fear etc. is put together under the umbrella term emotional habit. On the other hand, emotional regulation is how well a person manages his/her emotional habits in positive and more beneficial ways in improving his/her interpersonal relations with others. Best regards

With our birth we are fortunate to have with us our head ,mind ,brain with the conscious mind & inner urge with divinity within us for following the pathway of our life . In our life we have to face certain problems with demands a definition of feelings for the member of our family for which we we also become sensitive as we are directly involved with the family .

With this in such case by understanding the sentiments & feeling of family we have to control our mind feeling & expression offer them solace in time so that with the time they may control their emotion .

For habit it is not right type of behavior for any individual in whatever the position he may be having as very often habits remains a continuing passage of our life .For this , we have to free our mind under a proper approach of our discipline & for controlling the mind of our behavior or habit we should either go thru a good books & in certain case to sit silently for keeping our mind calm & quite so that with the passage of time the nature of our habits may disappear .

This is my personal opinion

Emotional habits refer to the habits of reaction to sadness, joy and fear ... which strongly affect our feelings ...While emotional regulation represents the ability to restrain and respond to psychological situations that respond to human feelings .

Dear colleagues, Thank you very much for these wonderful scientific answers

Emotional habits are based on truth. Honesty is the greatest value of a human being and his active citizenship. One can express it only through arts. To Anatoly Durov, "I used to be a king of jesters, but I have never been a jester of kings"He made a mock of the public servants, law enforcement administrators, and tradesmen. He was a man of genius- an artist, a sculptor, a man of letters, a clown, a tamer...Moral values of the higher order rule supreme https://www.obzor.lt/news/n4903.html

Emotions, as well as intellectual abilities and skills, have two components; one of genetic predisposition or aptitude, and another one of learning by means of the formal and informal education (school and experiences or experiences)

• Regarding Emotions, the innate or predisposing component develops and manifests itself through the experiences of life, which as they adapt to the development of the individual and the context, become stronger and become an important part of the personality and behavior of each subject. This is what could also be called Emotional Habits.
• Emotional Regulation, is the development and control of the person of their own emotions but of another level, greater than the simple habit (reflection and emotional self-control); in such a way that his response to external stimuli of the context and derived from communication with his peers, has the Habit component, but also, the conscious perception of the feelings and emotions generated in his person and interlocutors, which becomes capable to qualify your emotional response according to the circumstances and needs or demands of other people.

Las emociones al igual que las capacidades intelectuales y destrezas, tienen dos componentes; uno de predisposición genética o aptitud, y otro de aprendizaje por medio de la educación formal e informal (escuela y experiencias o vivencias)

• Respecto de las Emociones, el componente innato o de predisposición se va desarrollando y manifestando a través de las experiencias de la vida, las que conforme se van adecuando al desarrollo del individuo y al contexto, se fortalecen y llegan a ser una parte importante de la personalidad y conducta de cada sujeto. Esto es lo que pudiera también llamarse Hábitos Emocionales.
• Regulación Emocional, es el desarrollo y control de la persona de sus propias emociones pero de otro nivel, mayor al simple hábito (reflexión y auto-control emocional); de tal forma que su respuesta ante estímulos externos del contexto y derivados de la comunicación con sus semejantes, tiene el componente del Hábito, pero además, la percepción consciente de los sentimientos y emociones que generan en su persona e interlocutores, que llega a ser capaz de matizar su respuesta emocional de acuerdo a las circunstancias y necesidades o demandas de las otras personas.

Thank you very much my dear colleagues for these wonderful scientific answers

We all experience moments when our emotions control our actions. When this happens, we often regret the things we say or do and wish we had been able to keep our emotions in check. There are techniques, such as meditation, that can allow you to do just that—along with various other benefits, like mood improvement and increased compassion and empathy.

Thank you for this valuable question, and useful discussions.

I think answer by Dr.Asaad Ali Karam satisfied. Regards.

But Dharmesh, emotions are not limited to the negative 3 (fear, grief and anger) that you mention. What about joy, gratitude and hope? I have always written that the primary ends of the emotional spectrum are fear and hope, but at any given moment, we can only operate out of, and must choose (whether deliberately or subconsciously) between them. That choice may vary for different situations. For instance, I choose generally to operate out of my hopes (that people are inherently good, that my good treatment of them will pay off, and that my training and insight and talents will bring me wise decisions). But if I am accosted by a robber with a gun, I will likely operate out of fear than my hope that he will change his mind and not shoot me. This is a healthy, self-protective response. But one’s emotional “habits” are really about the pattern of choosing fear vs. hope that we USUALLY follow. The key to developing healthy emotional habits is to understand these polar opposites of hope and fear, and to examine how these have played out in your own life reactions in your major challenges and times of stress. Indeed, you could include a reflection of how your family members and friends display this choice in their moments of stress, as your own exposure to their habits can have a huge effect on your own tendencies. After looking at these patterns, you can empower yourself by making the decision to retrain yourself to choose hope over fear whenever possible to do so safely. Then you must practice this by trying it, and reflecting on the results compared to instances in which you reacted out of fear, doubt pessimism, or discouragement. One might keep a “hope journal” as a strategy for making this change. This was my path over many years, after determining that my own thought patterns and beliefs were causing me most of my misery. It has resulted in the most astonishing changes in my life, my career in education, and my degree of happines. I am very interested in hearing anyone else’s experience with this struggle. And thanks to the person that first posed this question as the answers were so very interesting!

I agree with Mohamed G. E. Gadallah opinion.

Thank you very much my dear colleagues for these wonderful scientific answers

One contribution I can make to the discussion is the relationship between self - regulation and the cultural dimension. This relationship is evident in what Antanas Mockus calls Cultural Amphibian

https://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/psicologia/article/view/15825/16651

Is there an English translation of the article? I'm really excited to read it, but am not at this level of Spanish yet!

Emotional regulation is the ways people use to control their emotions by making them work or flow in particular ways. For example, people can deny an emotion, intensify it or totally hide it. Also, emotional regulation refers to the procedure when people modify their sentimental reactions.

I am sorry virginia but i have not found any article of Antanas Mockus in English
