Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Emotion regulation refers to the ability to control or manage one's emotions. A child who cannot control his temper likely has difficulties with regulating his emotions. Sensitivity and reactivity may contribute to difficulties with emotion regulation, but they do not fully capture the issue at hand. Deregulation is a term that could be used to describe the problem, but it is not a commonly used term in the field of psychology.
