Handbook of Emotion Regulation, Third Edition

"Biting one's tongue, controlling tears, and suppressing anger are emotion regulation processes shaped over millennia. Given the importance of this uniquely human strategy, it is surprising that researchers only recently have turned their efforts to studying the why, when, and how of emotion regulation. With 71 clear, concise chapters, Gross and Ford take scholars and students on a scientific journey through all there is to learn about this booming research area. The third edition of this preeminent handbook will be absorbed, borrowed, and dog-eared by eager readers looking for the latest on the science of emotion regulation."--Wendy Berry Mendes, PhD, Department of Psychology, Yale University
