Long Description
The image is a flowchart illustrating emotional regulation strategies. It consists of five boxes arranged horizontally at the top: “Situation selection,” “Situation modification,” “Attentional deployment (distraction, concentration),” “Cognitive change (reappraisal),” and “Response modulation (suppression).” An aqua oval highlights the last box. Arrows point downward from each box to a horizontal timeline labeled “Situation,” “Attention,” “Appraisal,” and “Response.” Arrows on this line indicate the flow from situation to response. Below, there are two labeled rectangles: “Antecedent-focused strategies” spans from “Situation selection” to “Cognitive change,” and “Response-focused strategies” aligns under “Response modulation.”
