EVALUATIVE MODALITIES IN EMOTIONAL REGULATION: CURRENT APPROACHES

Abstract

Evaluating emotional regulation requires a certain level of complexity due to the multiple theoretical approaches that exist nowadays as well as a lack of universal agreement as to its conceptualization. Looking at what recent research offers, we capture the most significant and relevant concepts as an urge to come close to offer a unified definition. The present revision seeks to show a panoramic view of the existing evaluation modalities for this construct, placing it in a comprehensive perspective in order to build a guide looking forward to further investigations. Assessment methods as well as principal findings will be revised examining prior core elements of its definition.
