Emotion Regulation: A Theme in Search of Definition.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Thompson, Ross A. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
This essay considers how emotion regulation should be defined, the various components of the management of emotion, how emotion regulation strategies fit into the dynamics of social interaction, and how individual differences in emotion regulation should be conceptualized and measured. (MDM)

Frontal Electroencephalographic Correlates of Individual Differences in Emotion Expression in Infants: A Brain Systems Perspective on Emotion.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dawson, Geraldine – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
This essay reviews empirical evidence that suggests that emotion type and emotion intensity are associated with distinct and independent patterns of frontal electroencephalographic (EEG) activity in infants. The role of the frontal lobe and related brain systems in emotion expression and regulation is also discussed from a developmental…

Dynamic Cerebral Processes Underlying Emotion Regulation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fox, Nathan A. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
A reanalysis of recent clinical research suggests that three different neural processes or brain mechanisms may underlie the regulation of emotion: (1) contralateral disinhibition of cortical centers; (2) ipsilateral disinhibition of subcortical centers; and (3) excitation of specific subcortical or neocortical centers. (MDM)

A Functionalist Perspective on the Nature of Emotion.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Campos, Joseph J.; And Others – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
Discusses new research directions in the study of emotions, including postulations that emotion is relational rather than intrapsychic; emotion and an individual's goals are closely related; emotion "expressions" are social signals, not merely outward signs of internal states; and the physiology of emotion can regulate and be regulated.…

On the Nature of Emotion.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kagan, Jerome – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
This essay argues that humans are capable of a large number of affect states; a distinction should be made among acute emotions, chronic moods, and temperamental vulnerabilities to a particular emotion state; and research on human effects will profit from a return to, and reinterpretation of, Sigmund Freud's suggestion of unconscious affect…

The Development of Emotion Regulation and Dysregulation: A Clinical Perspective.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cole, Pamela M.; And Others – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
This essay asserts that clinical conceptualizations of emotion that stress its disruptive influences and functional models of emotion that emphasize its adaptive aspects can be integrated into a developmental psychopathology framework. Under certain conditions, emotion regulation may develop dysregulatory aspects that can become a characteristic…

Vagal Tone and Physiological Regulation of Emotion.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Porges, Stephen W.; And Others – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
This essay discusses the evaluation of the relationship between the nervous system and emotion regulation, introducing vagal tone as a measurable organismic variable that contributes to individual and developmental differences in the expression and regulation of emotion. (MDM)

Adrenocortical Activity and Emotion Regulation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stansbury, Kathy; Gunnar, Megan R. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
This essay argues that the activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenocortical (HPA) system does not appear to be related to emotion regulation processes in children, although individual differences in emotion processes related to negative emotion temperaments appear to be associated with individual differences in HPA reactivity among normally…

Hidden Regulators in Attachment, Separation, and Loss.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hofer, Myron A. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
This essay discusses the similarities between animal behavior and human attachment behavior demonstrated by infants and their mothers. The provision of warmth, the tactile and olfactory stimulation of the mother's physical interactions, and the oral sensory and absorptive consequences of nursing are found to provide specific and independent…

Origins and Outcomes of Individual Differences in Emotion Regulation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Calkins, Susan D. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1994
This essay examines the development of individual differences in emotion regulation and the role that specific styles of emotion regulation and dysregulation play in affecting young children's interactive behavior with peers. It advances a general developmental pathway that conceptualizes individual variations in terms of both infant traits and…
