Emotion Regulation cover

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. Emotion Regulation 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 organized around three age periods of the life span: infancy and childhood, adolescence, and adulthood.

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 conceptualizations of emotion regulation in favor of richer and more explanatory frameworks.

"Emotion regulation is about change. So is emotional development. This remarkable collection promises to invigorate research on emotion regulation by deeply exploring the dynamics of emotion over microseconds, minutes, and years. The contributors enlist multilevel perspectives – moving from neurobiology to behavior to social contexts – using innovative methodology. A timely and important volume." - Ross A. Thompson, University of California-Davis, USA

"A unique volume that both reviews the state of the science on emotion regulation and provides directions for future research that incorporates time as a key factor. Contributions illustrate how studying moment-to-moment changes in emotion can inform our understanding of emotion regulation across the life span. Mandatory reading for anyone interested in these important topics." - Linda A. Camras, DePaul University, USA

"The scientific study of emotion regulation has come a long way in the last 15 years. This volume highlights those advances by bringing together cutting edge theory and empirical findings about the dynamic biopsychosocial nature of emotion regulation across the life span. It provides an excellent overview of our current understanding and points to intriguing next steps." - Emily Butler, University of Arizona, USA
