当代对情绪调节的兴趣有望推动情绪发展的重要新观点，并为发展精神病理学提供应用，但这些潜在的贡献取决于发展主义者对一些基本定义问题的关注。本文通过考虑如何定义情绪调节，情绪管理的各种组成部分，情绪调节策略如何适应社会互动的动态，以及如何概念化和测量情绪调节的个体差异，为这些问题提供了一个视角。最后，似乎很清楚的是，情绪调节是一系列显著发展过程的概念准则，每个过程都可能有自己的催化剂和控制过程。同样，情绪调节技能的个体差异可能有多方面的原因，也以复杂的方式与个人的情绪目标和情境的直接需求有关。关注情绪动态的评估方法非常适合于阐明这些复杂的发展和个体差异。总之，一个具有挑战性的研究议程等待着那些进入这个有前途的研究领域的人。
Contemporary interest in emotion regulation promises to advance important new views of emotional development as well as offering applications to developmental psychopathology, but these potential contributions are contingent on developmentalists' attention to some basic definitional issues. This essay offers a perspective on these issues by considering how emotion regulation should be defined, the various components of the management of emotion, how emotion regulation strategies fit into the dynamics of social interaction, and how individual differences in emotion regulation should be conceptualized and measured. In the end, it seems clear that emotion regulation is a conceptual rubric for a remarkable range of developmental processes, each of which may have its own catalysts and control processes. Likewise, individual differences in emotion regulation skills likely have multifaceted origins and are also related in complex ways to the person's emotional goals and the immediate demands of the situation. Assessment approaches that focus on the dynamics of emotion are well suited to elucidating these complex developmental and individual differences. In sum, a challenging research agenda awaits those who enter this promising field of study.
