Can all emotions be regulated? A comprehensive examination from multiple perspectives

This symposium brings together a number of leading scholars in emotional regulation and emotional management. Our goal is to generate a comprehensive understanding of the current state of the literature on emotional regulation and management, as well as its theoretical and practical implications. We also seek to critically examine the upcoming challenges for future research in this area and point out new perspectives to understand emotional regulation. We will present emotional regulation of discrete emotions such as pride and envy, and discuss how and why emotional regulation tactics might work well or not under different circumstances. We will also propose new perspectives of understanding emotional regulation and management research by using Confucian thoughts as a framework. Bursting with Pride?
