Emotional regulation in adolescents
importance and influence of context
Abstract
The aim of this article is to present the characteristics of emotional regulation in adolescents according to biological and social aspects, with emphasis on the role of context and its influence on the process of emotional management. A bibliographic review was conducted in the Scopus, Science Direct and EBSCO Host databases, it was considered articles published between years 2011 and 2021 with the terms emotional regulation, adolescents, natural environments, context; as well as bibliographic material related to development and adolescence with earlier dates. It was found that developmental changes, in addition to the contextual factors of social pressures, parenting experiences and the perception of lack of control over situations help to understand how adolescents regulate their emotions and the difficulties they may present in the process. The scope of the findings are related to the personalist principles of solidarity-subsidiarity and freedom-responsibility. It is hoped that this information will be useful for the work of accompanying parents and educators in the process of acquiring or strengthening emotional skills in adolescents.
