We first talk about intrapersonal and interpersonal emotion regulation, the relationship between interpersonal emotion regulation and social competence, cross-cultural differences in emotion regulation, and the development of emotion regulation. We discuss emotionality and academic functioning, and we discuss emotion goals and well-being. We talk about children’s political knowledge. We discuss conceptualizations of happiness, how they vary, and their applications. We delve into interpersonal affect worsening during the COVID-19 pandemic, and children’s socio-emotional development. Finally, we discuss the relationship between theory of mind and empathy.
