Advancing Interpersonal Emotion Regulation and Social Regulation

This research-driven guide explores the emerging field of interpersonal emotion regulation, offering a deep dive into how we can effectively manage the emotional states of others. The book moves beyond individual emotional intelligence to systematically identify the specific skills required to positively influence another person's emotional experiences, particularly during high-stakes, emotion-eliciting events. It presents a compelling case for this social tool as a critical, yet often overlooked, component of our relational toolkit.

What sets this work apart is its focus on the "regulator" and the tangible mechanics behind social influence, making it particularly valuable for aspiring leaders, therapists, coaches, and anyone seeking to navigate complex group dynamics. By framing emotion management as a learnable skill set rather than an innate talent, it provides a practical and empowering framework. Readers will finish with a new lens for understanding social interactions and a clearer path toward becoming a more effective and supportive presence in the lives of others.
