Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Suppression involves consciously attempting to not think about or express a particular emotion. In this scenario, Scarlett is consciously attempting not to think about her nerves in order to regulate her emotions. Affect labeling involves identifying and labeling one's emotions, displacement involves redirecting an emotion from one target to another, and reappraisal involves reinterpreting a situation to change the emotional response. None of these techniques are being used in this scenario.
