Improving emotion regulation abilities, a process that requires learning, can enhance psychological well-being and mental health. Empirical evidence suggests that emotion regulation can be learned-during development and the lifespan, and most explicitly in psychotherapeutic interventions and experimental training paradigms. There is little work however that directly addresses such learning mechanisms. The present article proposes that learning in specific components of emotion regulation-emotion goals, emotional awareness, and strategy selection-may drive skill learning and long-term changes in regulatory behavior. Associative learning (classical and instrumental conditioning) and social learning (including observational, instructed, or interpersonal emotion regulation processes) are proposed to function as underlying mechanisms, while reinforcement-learning models may be useful for quantifying how these learning systems operate. A framework for how people learn emotion regulation will guide basic science investigations and impact clinical interventions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

学习情绪调节：一个综合框架。


提高情绪调节能力是一个需要学习的过程，可以增强心理健康和心理健康。经验证据表明，情绪调节是可以在发育和生命周期中习得的，最明显的是在心理治疗干预和实验训练范式中。然而，很少有工作直接解决这种学习机制。本文提出，学习情绪调节的特定组成部分——情绪目标、情绪意识和策略选择——可能会推动技能学习和调节行为的长期变化。联想学习（经典和工具调节）和社会学习（包括观察、指导或人际情绪调节过程）被认为是作为潜在机制发挥作用，而强化学习模型可能有助于量化这些学习系统的运作方式。人们如何学习情绪调节的框架将指导基础科学研究并影响临床干预。 （PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2024 APA，保留所有权利）。
