Emotional Regulation

Question 1

Emotional regulation refers to people's ability to manage and respond to a demonstrative experience. People prefer emotional regulation they benefit from it when dealing with difficult situations. They can also see emotional regulation as unethical when used to make something perceived as right when it is wrong (Veetikazhi et al., 2021). Emotional regulation is perceived to be unethical when people make decisions when they are angry. It is identified that anger may lead to negative effects on workplaces. Anger may contribute to frustration among employees when their boss misuses emotional regulation. Frustration among workers may lead to quitting jobs before the end of their contracts. Additionally, employers may use emotional regulation to make a false conclusion about their workers, ending their contracts before the due dates. The behaviors of employers which is triggered by anger towards employees reflect emotional regulation as unethical behavior.

Anger may contribute to interpersonal conflict between employees and employers, leading to unfair treatment, which is unethical. The conflict between employers and employees may arise from a coworker misusing emotional regulation, such as openly criticizing colleagues. Also, conflict may arise when employers temper rises due to a small mistake that employees has made. The conflict in the workplace reflects why some people see emotional regulation as unethical behavior.

Emotional regulation may also be perceived as unethical when people use it to practice dishonesty. It is identified that people may use emotional regulation to cheat others to help them fit the social norms (Veetikazhi et al., 2021). In the workplace, employees may become dishonest about the illegal practices of their boss, fearing being sacked. Workers may also fail to point out their mistakes, fearing mistreatment from their employers, demonstrating emotional regulation as an unethical practice.

Question 2

Embracing negative emotions by countries such as Japan and Russia may lead to both positive and negative effects. Stress is one of the undesirable effects that negative emotions can result to. Stress will occur when people feel uncomfortable and want to escape that feeling since they think it will be continuous (Menninghaus et al., 2017). People's health may be affected by stress since their immunity system will reduce due to an imbalance in body hormones.

Despite embracing negative emotions having undesirable results, it has positive effects such as providing information to people. First, people may use anxiety and anger to show them something is incorrect (Menninghaus et al., 2017). In addition, people may use fear to show them when they need security. Lastly, frustration may be an informative tool about something that needs to be changed in a relationship.
