“…However, previous work has also produced evidence for situation selection that reflects a contra-hedonic preference 8 or found no difference in situation selection based on different valence categories 9 , 10 , 12 , 38 . The presence of hedonic and contra-hedonic situation selection across studies could be driven by factors such as participants’ age 11 , attitude towards emotions 39 , their emotional goals 40 – 43 , or motivation 44 , social context of ER 40 , as well as levels of arousal 9 , interest 9 , 45 , or attractiveness of the stimuli 46 . Why we observed the hedonic pattern in this particular context is unclear; efforts to understand the mixed nature of findings in this domain deserve attention in future studies.…”

Emotion Regulation Compensation Following Situation Selection Failure

We conducted two within-subjects experiments to determine whether people use alternative emotion regulation (ER) strategies to compensate for failure of situation selection, a form of ER in which one chooses situations based on the emotions those situations afford. Participants viewed negative and neutral (Study 1, N = 58) or negative, neutral, and positive pictures (Study 2, N = 90). They indicated for each picture whether they wanted to terminate presentation (Study 1) or view it again (Study 2). We manipulated the outcome of this decision to be congruent with participants’ wishes (success) or not (failure), and measured self-reported ER strategies and emotional responses. Although participants terminated negative situations more often than neutral situations (Study 1), or chose to view positive pictures more frequently than neutral, and neutral more frequently than negative (Study 2), there was little evidence of compensation in the wake of situation selection failure. Overall, we conclude that although people choose situations based on affect (i.e., attempt to end or avoid high-arousal negative situations and pursue high-arousal pleasant ones), they do not generally use the alternative ER strategies that we assessed (rumination, reappraisal, distraction) to compensate when the situations they select fail to materialize in this experimental context.

“…Furthermore, several studies have found positive relationships between people's attitudes towards a particular emotion and whether they choose to strive for, or engage with, that emotion (Markovitch et al, 2016(Markovitch et al, , 2017. Emotion regulation choice has also been found to be associated with people's self-reported and/or externally manipulated beliefs about particular emotions, such including how much control they believe they have over their emotions (e.g.…”

Day-to-day life is inundated with attempts to control emotions and a wealth of research has examined what strategies people use and how effective these strategies are. However, until more recently, research has often neglected more basic questions such as whether and how people choose to regulate their emotions (i.e. emotion regulation choice). In an effort to identify what we know and what we need to know, we systematically reviewed studies that examined potential determinants of whether and how people choose to regulate their emotions. Eighteen determinants were identified across 219 studies and were categorised as being affective, cognitive, motivational, individual or social-cultural in nature. Where there were sufficient primary studies, meta-analysis was used to quantify the size of the associations between potential determinants and measures of whether and how people choose to regulate their emotions. Based on the findings, we propose that people's decisions about whether and how to regulate their emotions are determined by factors relating to the individual doing the regulating, the emotion that is being regulated, and both the immediate situation and the broader social context in which the regulation is taking place.

“…Some people are more inclined to make appraisals that other people are accountable for negative outcomes and these people are more prone to anger (Kuppens, Van Mechelen, & Rijmen, 2008). People clearly differ in the degree to which they value different emotions (e.g., Markovitch, Netzer, & Tamir, 2016;Tsai, 2007), and this difference in valuing emotions is likely to lead to differential experience of those emotions (Parker, Majid, Stewart, & Ahrens, 2017).…”

One approach to well‐being focuses not on feelings or circumstances but on virtue, or engaging in the right action for the right reason in the right circumstances. Philosophers have experienced a surge of interest in virtue. In recent years, psychologists have followed suit. This paper briefly introduces virtue theory and recent work on virtue. Given the centrality of “right reason” for virtue, it is essential for virtue theorists to find a psychology that pays close attention to the reasons people have for taking action. We present social cognitive theory as one such psychology. We describe several specific research directions that social cognitive theory suggests for those interested in virtue as the best descriptor of well‐being.
