One of the most important advances in the study of emotion regulation is understanding it as a dynamic process that develops across the life span. This volume focuses on current conceptual and methodological issues in terms of change over various time scales: developmental change across years, as well as changes from day to day, from situation to situation, and from moment to moment. Written by top experts in the field, the volume is organised around three age periods of the life span: infancy and childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
Key Features
- Focuses on emotion regulation as a dynamic process.
- Addresses conceptual and methodological issues over various time scales.
- Organised around three key age periods: infancy and childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.
Additional Information
By taking the matter of time seriously, these chapters represent promising and necessary approaches to broadening our knowledge of emotion regulation as a dynamic process that changes with age. The volume provides guidance for future research that will enable researchers to leave behind facile and static conceptualisations of emotion regulation in favour of richer and more explanatory frameworks.
