FLOREZ ALARCON, LUIS  y  RENDON, MARÍA ISABEL. IMPACT OF DISPLAY RULES ON EMOTIONAL REGULATION IN A SAMPLE OF SCHOOL CHILDREN. Act.Colom.Psicol. [online]. 2010, vol.13, n.2, pp.79-90. ISSN 0123-9155.

The aim of this study was to describe the temporary pattern of anger and two regulatory behaviors (self-soothing, object manipulation) as a function of training in the use of emotional display rules (EDR) in a sample of 12 boys (M= 9.5 years-old). As an outcome of,this intervention the rate of self-soothing amongst subjects and groups became stable whereas object manipulation seemed to have no regulatory function. Scores in EDR did not show significant differences pre and post intervention, but changes in self-soothing and object manipulation are discussed in function of specific patterns of EDR enactment.

Palabras clave : emotional regulation; regulatory function; emotional display rules; anger; self-soothing; object manipulation.
