25
define instrumental motives
motivation to attain benefits beyond pleasure and pain (exp emot thats helpful, avoid unhelpfuls, up-reg neg emot, down-reg pos emots)
26
explain performance type of instrumental motives in taxonomy of motives (emotion regulations)
what we want to do ie, experience helpful emotion
27
explain epistemic type of instrumental motives in taxonomy of motives (emotion regulations)
regulate emotion to gain some knowledge
28
explain social type of instrumental motives in taxonomy of motives (emotion regulations)
regulate emotions to achieve social-related outcome, ie seeks help by express sad emotions
29
explain eudaimoic type of instrumental motives in taxonomy of motives (emotion regulations)
regulate emotions to get meaning from it, including competency+autonomy
30
give evidence for hedonic motives- taxonomy of motives
more frequent report attempt increase pos emot, decrease neg emot when asked to list what wants to feel+why, ppt list prohedonics (increase pos+decrease neg) on 50% case
31
give evidence for instrumental motives - performance (Tamir, 2008)
read confrontational or non game scenario, rate preference for diff activity type before play game (anger inducing/neutral/exciting) ppts pref anger-induc activity when anticip play confrontational suggest don't alway want feel good but sometimes want feeling bad to help achieving goal
32
give real-life support for instrumental motives (Lane, 2011)
exam runner beliefs on emotion assoc with ideal perf and regulatory strategy used = greater use strategies increase unpleas emot assoc with belief that increasing anger/anxiety help
33
how common are instrumental motives (daily life support)
Kalokerinos (2017) = daily diary study report most neg event of day, their instrumental motives in that event perf motive in 1/3 event, other instrumental motive in 1/10 motives vary dep on contexts
34
how many emotional regulation strategies is there, organised how
162 (Parkinson & Totterdell, 1999) organised via whether implemented behaviourally (doing something) or cognitively (think about something) whether involved with (reappraisal), disengaging from (distraction) emotional situ many are mix of cog/emot
35
name 3 common emotional reg strategy
reappraisal, distraction, suppression
36
outline reappraisal (common emot reg strategy)
modifying how we appraise situation to alter emotional significance by changing how we think about situ, capacity to manage demands it poses
37
outline distraction (common emot reg strategy)
focuses attention on diff aspect of situation, or move attention away from situ
38
outline suppression (common emot reg strategy)
try inhibit ongoing negative or positive emotion-expressive behaviour
39
summarise process model of emotion regulation
can use different strategies to regulate emotions depending on point in emot generation process reg take place
40
in process model of emotion regulation, what type of strategies used if before emotion response
antecendent-focused strategies
41
in process model of emotion regulation, what type of strategies used if after emotion response
response-focused strategies
42
name the 5 stages of process model of emotion regulation
situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, cognitive change, response modulation
43
summarise situation selection stage of process model of emotion regulation (including what strategy is)
choose to enter/or avoid situ dep on how wills make u feel use before emot gen process begin strategy is avoidance
44
summarise situation modification stage of process model of emotion regulation (including what strategy is)
change aspects of situ you are in during situ stage of emot gen strategy is direct request
45
summarise attentional deployment stage of process model of emotion regulation (including what strategy is)
change what you are focusing on in particular situ use during attent stage of emot gen strategy is distraction, rumination
46
summarise cognitive change stage of process model of emotion regulation (including what strategy is)
think about situation differently use during apprais stage of emot gen strategy is reappraisal, to find "silver lining"
47
summarise response modulation stage of process model of emotion regulation (including what strategy is)
response-focused strategies alter emotion when it is in full swing during respon stage of emot gen strategy is expressive suppression, physiological intervention (deep breath, hiding true emot resp)
48
emotion regulation is a multi-stage process. name 4 stages in the cycle
- identification of need reg = identif discrepancy between how feel and how wants to feel - selection how reg - decide whether want/able and how to regulate - implementation of selected strategy - monitoring success of regulation - if successful can be stopped - unsuccessful, then switched
49
Webb (2012) carried out review into emot reg strategy effecitivity. outcome measures were experiential, behavioural physiological, outline findings
distraction best help feels better but dont influence beh/physiol concentration exacerbated emot= feels worse reappraisal small-medium effect on emot resp suppression infl beh measures but didnt infl how actual feel, neg impact on phys summary, reappraisal best
50
summarise role of context in emotion regulation
how effective strategy is depend on contexts global conclusion on which strategy best are misleading, shift research to consider emot reg as interac between person, situation, strategy for effective and successful regulation need take into account the context, and able flexibly switch between diff strateg dep on contexts
51
name 2 context/individual factor determining emot reg frequencies
social relationship partners personality factors
52
what strategy most likely if stimulus high intensity/low
when stimuli is high intensity then distraction/suppression more likely but if stimuli low intensity is reappraisal
53
if culture values self reflection, insight what strategy more common
if culture value self-reflection and insight, uses reappraisals more than the average, but if from culture that value open expression of emotion then use suppressions lower
54
Rotweiller (2018) used experience sampling study into reporting mood, intense experienc emotion and if related to exam/context. summarise results
found suppression improve their mood for exam-rel anx distraction improve mood in only non-exam rel anx suggest important to not classify strategies as effective vs ineffective but also consider context
55
when low intensity images (Sheppes, 2011) how many resources available for processing + regulations
less resource needed for processing so more resource available during regulation (reappraise)
56
when high intensity images (Sheppes, 2011) how many resources available for processing + regulations
more resource needed in processing, so less resource available in regulations (distract)
57
why is emotion regulations choice research important?
choose btw/ diff strategies is assoc with psychological WB+health rigid choice assoc with psychopathology if understand what strategy health adult should make in diff situ, deviation can be identified in psychopathol
58
name 5 types of factors impacting emot reg choices
affective, cognitive, motivational, individual, sociocultural
59
what may a affective factor impacting emot reg choices
intensity of emotion
60
what may a cognitive factor impacting emot reg choices

what may a socialcultural factor impacting emot reg choices
culture
64
whats successful emotion regulations associated with
successful functioning in dtd lifes psychological wellbeing and health creating, maintaining social rel work performance
65
summarise findings in Aldao (2010 meta-analysis on relationship btw/ 6 strategies (acceptance, avoidance, problem solving, reappraisal, rumination + suppression) and symptoms of 4 psychopathologies (anx, depr, eating, substance)
- maladaptive strategies associated with more psychopathology - rumination, avoidance, suppression - adaptive strategies associated with less psychopathology - acceptance, reappraisal, problem solving - rumination showed largest effect suggest how people regulate emotion may have influence on their mental health
66

rumination, avoidance, suppression
67
what 3 adaptive strategy assoc with less psychopathology
acceptance, reappraisal, problem solving

70
outline extrinsic interpersonal emotions regulation
person attempts to regulate another persons emotions
71
what does response-dependent emot reg depends on
feedback of others
72
what does response-independent emot reg depends on
not require feedback of other person
73
what are response-dependent and response-independent "orthogonal" to?
response-dependent and response-independent processes are orthogonal to extrinsic, intrinsic regulation = create 2x2 matrix
74
what do interpersonal processes critically scaffold longterm
emot reg throughout lives correg - infant-parent interaction, shapes attachment
75
when is interpersonal motives most commonly used (Tran, 2025) - evidence
used to make others feel better in 55% but also for self-focused motive - want feels helpful/good and avoid feeling uncomfortable regulate other to help achieve goal 19% achieve own goal 17%
76
name 4 pos outcome of interpersonal emot reg
dev closer friendship increase feeling intimacy increase feeling social connec, more supportive rel more diverse emotionship assoc w/ wellbe
77
outline method of Levy-Gigi & Shamay-Tsoory (2017) in comparison for effectiveness of intrapersonal/interpersonal emot reg
assigned person in couples as target/regulator target view pic, and choose/apply strategy to reg own emot (intrapersonal), OR apply strat chosen by partner (extrinsic interpersonal)
78
outline findings in Levy-Gigi & Shamay-Tsoory (2017) in comparison for effectiveness of intrapersonal/interpersonal emot reg
extrinsic interpers emot reg more effective at reducing distress than intrapersonal highlight advantage of outside perspective in reducing stress and improving emotion regulation
79
outline role of our PFC for emot reg (reappraisal)
involved, so suggest reappraisal less successful if under condition that impair PFC-dep cog
