Dial E for Emotion : context and consequences of emotion regulation

Not all emotional displays are always appropriate, not all subjective feelings desired. Hence, people control their emotions by resorting to all sorts of emotion regulation strategies: Crying, faking, talking, writing, singing, walking, thinking, hiking, dreaming, sleeping, eating, hiding, swimming, leaving, drinking, fighting ... These emotion regulation strategies have been at the heart of my work: The circumstances under which they are preferred and employed, and the effects they have on different emotional components.
