Moreover, the ability to change emotion-related cognitions, achieved via reappraisal, is one of the main determinants of improvement across most psychopathologies. Despite the depth of knowledge reflecting the benefits of reappraisal, there remains a lack of both theory and evidence to explain how this complex emotion-regulation strategy develops. The objective of this chapter is to outline the developmental trajectory of reappraisal by identifying the social and cognitive components necessary for the successful development and use of reappraisal, as well as the maturation of these components from infancy through adolescence.","PeriodicalId":315863,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Emotional Development","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127089835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there are still many unanswered questions about the extent to which EU facilitates children’s cooperative problem-solving in educational settings. For instance, it is not yet clear how understanding emotions positively impacts children’s interaction both when they play freely with peers and when they are engaged in problem-solving tasks. In addition, there is no conclusive answer about whether the impact of EU on cooperative problem-solving varies depending on children’s age. This chapter aims to address this shortfall. Building on empirical findings, the usefulness of EU for children engaged in different types of cooperation (dyadic, triadic, free play), and at different ages (from toddlerhood to middle childhood) is discussed.","PeriodicalId":315863,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Emotional Development","volume":"6 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120878263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first is a process in which children gradually differentiate an early, valence-based (i.e., feels good vs. feels bad) emotion understanding into more discrete categories, while also learning to link the various components of emotion (e.g., causes, consequences, behaviors, facial expressions, labels) until their taxonomy closely resembles the taxonomy of the adults with whom they interact. For example, children gradually learn that some bad feelings are caused by a loss, result in tears, and are called sad, whereas others are caused by danger, result in the desire to flee, and are called scared. The second process supports the first. It is a process of elimination which enables children to quickly map novel emotion components to novel emotion categories and to begin to acquire a new emotion category.","PeriodicalId":315863,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Emotional Development","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116608015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is thus relevant, though highly challenging, to develop computational models and artificial agents derived from psychological theories allowing investigators to explore and test hypotheses through simulations. This chapter reviews and discusses current modeling challenges and advances that are relevant to the understanding and simulation of affective social learning and the development of adaptive and motivated behaviors. The hope is that the chapter will encourage dialogue and the sharing of perspectives with developmental and clinical psychologists. The chapter emphasizes the importance of modeling the complex integration of multiple interacting mechanisms, including processes analogous to the imagination and subjective experience, in order to understand the development of appraisal, emotions, emotion regulation, and their roles in adaptive and maladaptive behaviors.","PeriodicalId":315863,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Emotional Development","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123456663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This mutual indifference is particularly problematic when studying processes of socialization. On the developmental psychological side, there is perhaps a tendency to consider the child as a “lone explorer,” while on the sociology side, the irreducibility of the social agent to their individual epistemic endeavor is, of course, central. However, socialization is essentially about transmission, from one generation to the next, of ways of doing, thinking, and feeling. In this chapter, the authors argue that culture is mostly about what is socially relevant, and that what is socially relevant can be learned by observing relevant others’ affective expressions. This affective social learning may help close the gap between psychology and sociology by providing different mechanisms that enable individuals to embody, via their developing emotions, the system of cultural relevance in which they live.","PeriodicalId":315863,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Emotional Development","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116752888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter describes the neural networks that underlie emotion regulation, and explores how these networks develop during childhood and adolescence. We consider two forms of emotion regulation: self-regulation and social regulation. While developmental theories suggest that parents socially regulate their children’s emotions so as to scaffold burgeoning self-regulation abilities, little neuroscience work has considered the development of self- and social regulation together. Here, we address this gap in the literature by describing what is known about the neurodevelopment of self- and social regulation of emotions separately, and by discussing how they might inform one another. Given that little developmental neuroimaging research has examined social regulation, we draw inferences from adjacent research areas including social regulation of stress physiology. Finally, we provide suggestions for future developmental neuroscience work on self and social emotion regulation.","PeriodicalId":315863,"journal":{"name":"The Oxford Handbook of Emotional Development","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115967383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
