| Abstract |
Humans have a number of emotion regulation strategies at their disposal, from which in a particular situation one or more can be chosen. The focus of this presentation is on the processes behind the choice of these regulation strategies. The paper presents a neurologically inspired cognitive computational model of a monitoring and decision mechanism for emotion regulation incorporating different strategies (expressive suppression, reappraisal or reinterpretation, and situation modification). It can be tuned to specific characteristics of persons and events. |
