What this study supports

Supports definitions and the five-point process model used across the library. A conceptual framework, not a test of which strategies work.

Who was studied
Not applicable: an integrative review proposing the process model of emotion regulation.

Level of evidence
Cross-sectional, observational, qualitative work and narrative reviews.

Claims that rest on it

Each claim states what the site asserts, at what strength, and with what caveat.

TheoreticalLevel DConfidence HIGH

The process model of emotion regulation groups strategies into situation selection, situation modification, attentional deployment, cognitive change and response modulation according to the point in emotion generation at which they act; the extended process model adds identification, selection and implementation stages.

Scope
The structure of the model as stated by its author.
Caveat
The model is a heuristic framework; the families overlap in practice, and it is one of several ways to classify regulation.

TheoreticalLevel DConfidence MODERATE

Read through the process model, venting combines response modulation (acting on expression once an emotion is under way) with attentional deployment towards the cause and the feeling, whereas reappraisal is cognitive change; this placement is an interpretation by this site.

Scope
A conceptual classification used to connect the venting literature with the process model.
Caveat
The cited authors do not classify venting in these words; forms of venting that include reflection also involve cognitive change.
