How the study of regulation can inform the study of coping.

It is advantageous to study regulation and coping and their development at multiple levels of expression and origin simultaneously. We discuss several topics of current interest in the emotion-related regulation literature that are relevant to coping, including conceptual issues related to definitions and types of coping, types of physiological responses deemed to tap emotion regulation that could be pursued in work on coping, and findings on the socialization of self-regulation that have implications for understanding the development of coping.
