What sorts of feelings are regulated?
Another word that psychologists use for feelings is affect, and affect includes both:
• emotions (e.g., anger, disgust, fear)
• and moods (e.g., calm, gloomy).
Emotions are usually briefer than moods and are directed at something specific. Some researchers organise feelings into discrete categories, others arrange them according to the extent to which they involve the underlying dimensions of pleasure and activation. For example, anxiety involves low pleasure but high activation.
