Emotion regulation involves identifying and modifying the emotions you feel. Research on effective emotion regulation techniques is ongoing, but studies show that acknowledging, rather than suppressing, our emotional responses to situations and reframing, as can open expression of emotions, or venting.
Cognitive re-appraisal involves reframing our outlook on an emotional situation.
Not everyone is equally good at regulating emotions. The workplace environment influences an individual’s tendency to employ emotion regulation. In general, diversity in work groups increases the likelihood that you will regulate your emotions.
