Emotional regulation refers to the process of controlling one's emotions, allowing an individual to manage their emotional response to a situation in a way that is adaptive and functional. In this context, convincing oneself that the boss's request for a meeting is about a project rather than something negative is an example of regulating one's emotions to avoid unnecessary worry.
