Hi Monique darling! When I was researching my alcohol and uni students chapter I came across some articles that might be helpful to your topic, although I was looking primarily at motivation not emotion some of the themes go across the spectrum of self-regulation. Particularly looking at the Motivational Enhancement Therapy as follows: the MET approach was originally constructed for an intervention from an 8-year, national, clinical test which commenced in 1989 and compared three different methods and treatments of alcoholism including a 39 month followup in their longitudinal trial. They combined Motivational Interviewing techniques with less intensive intervention (as many intervention methods are very confrontational to the participant) over a 12 week period. In the first session the researcher gives the participant a clear, structured, personalised feedback on the participants drinking frequency, (number of drinking days per month), drinking intensity (number of drinks consumed per session), general level of intoxication, risk for negative consequences of alcohol use, liver test function results, and other associated neurological tests and problems associated with alcohol (familial risk and symptoms of increased tolerance levels). All this data has been gathered over previous scores on various diagnostic tests completed earlier. The participant scores are then compared with the scores of other similar American adults so as to elevate their awareness of the extent to which alcohol has affected their life choices and to try to motivate him or her to alter their drinking behaviour. This is where self-regulation can assist their motivation to change. During session 2, the researcher concentrates on strengthening the commitment of the participant using appropriate change processes and on assisting the participant develop specific plans for change (what the participant will do, how she or he will do it, -self-regulation- and who else can help (significant others, doctors and associated clinicians). Session 3 and 4 focus on reviewing progress and motivational renewal and commitment by exploring any remaining ambivalent feelings the the participant may have regarding change and how self-regulation will assist in this regard.

Hey, I found an article that you might find useful. It's on emotion self-regulation in the context of sport performance: http://web.ebscohost.com.ezproxy1.canberra.edu.au/ehost/detail?sid=171bb6ef-9c82-4710-a05e-9d41b735000f%40sessionmgr12&vid=1&hid=9&bdata=#db=a9h&AN=14426660

And also this another I thought might be handy about how positive emotions help improve self-regulation: http://web.ebscohost.com.ezproxy1.canberra.edu.au/ehost/detail?sid=d8392b41-82bf-4556-8a79-f79a52f52d65%40sessionmgr15&vid=1&hid=9&bdata=#db=a9h&AN=24609799Emily.Antonio (discusscontribs) 04:05, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Another Link[edit source]

Hey I'm going to jump on the bandwagon here and suggest another article I found that is also relevant to my topic. It discusses The process model of emotion regulation and goes into depth about each type of emotion regulation. It appears James J. Gross has done quite a few emotion regulation articles http://zh9bf5sp6t.search.serialssolutions.com/?ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&ctx_enc=info%3Aofi%2Fenc%3AUTF-8&rfr_id=info:sid/summon.serialssolutions.com&rft_val_fmt=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:journal&rft.genre=article&rft.atitle=Emotion+regulation%3A+taking+stock+and+moving+forward&rft.jtitle=Emotion+%28Washington%2C+D.C.%29&rft.au=Gross%2C+James+J&rft.date=2013-06-01&rft.eissn=1931-1516&rft.volume=13&rft.issue=3&rft.spage=359&rft_id=info:pmid/23527510&rft.externalDocID=23527510&paramdict=en-US Kstan (discusscontribs) 22:58, 24 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey some info that might help[edit source]

Hey, I think that the conservation hypothesis would be helpful for your topic. According to the theory, depleted individuals conserve their self-control resources in reservation for future high priority situations, and as such, will often preform poorer on self-control tasks if they anticipate future demands on their self-control. Supporting evidence: Muraven, Shmueli and Burkley (2006) found that people who had recently exerted self-control, and were informed that they would need to do so again in the near future performed poorly on a test of self-control, compared to those who did not exert self-control recently or those who did not anticipate exerting self-control in the future. This suggests that usually we are not unable to exert self-control, but instead are unwilling or unmotivated. Becuase of this, Wikstrom and Treiber (2007) emphasized the need to distinguish between failures to control oneself due to a loss of capacity and those due to a loss of motivation (because self-control is unpleasant or requires too much effort / resources)

Heres the references, check them out :)
