Emotion Perception and Regulation¶
Scope: Recognition of emotional signals (face, voice, body), affective priming, cognitive reappraisal, expressive suppression, emotion regulation strategies.
Out of scope: Specific emotions as states (fear, happiness, disgust, anger, sadness — HED handles these as stimulus/state labels); affect as a trait; mood.
Note
Open issues: Coverage of appraisal-stage processes is thin - expected to grow if paradigms that specifically target appraisal are added.
This category contains 5 processes.
