érzelemszabályozási

The Hungarian term "érzelemszabályozás" translates to emotion regulation in English. It refers to the processes individuals use to influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express these emotions. This is a fundamental aspect of psychological functioning and plays a significant role in mental health and well-being.

Emotion regulation encompasses a wide range of strategies, both conscious and unconscious. These can include cognitive reappraisal, where an individual changes their thinking about a situation to alter their emotional response, or suppression, where they try to inhibit the outward expression of an emotion. Other strategies involve situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, and response modulation.

Effective emotion regulation is crucial for navigating social interactions, achieving goals, and maintaining psychological stability. Difficulties in emotion regulation are often associated with various mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, and personality disorders. Research in psychology and neuroscience explores the neural mechanisms underlying emotion regulation and develops interventions to improve these skills. Understanding and developing robust emotion regulation strategies are key components of therapeutic approaches aimed at enhancing emotional well-being and resilience.
