Because emotion regulation is a motivated process, one must adopt a motivational perspective to understand it. We build on the distinction between goal setting (i.e., selecting end-states to achieve) and goal striving (i.e., engaging in behaviors to achieve desired end-states). First, we discuss how these concepts apply to regulation in the emotion domain. Second, we review existing research on setting emotion goals and striving for them. Third, we highlight how goal setting and goal striving can operate in tandem to shape emotion regulation. Finally, we highlight the importance of considering emotion regulation as a motivated process, and how doing so informs key topics explored in this special issue, including those pertaining to determinants (e.g., culture as setting emotion goals), consequences (e.g., monitoring emotion goal progress and mental health), and interventions (e.g., manipulating features of emotion goal setting and striving to promote adaptive emotion regulation).

因为情绪调节是一个受动机驱动的过程，所以必须采用动机视角来理解它。我们基于目标设定（即选择要实现的最终状态）和目标努力（即采取行动以实现期望的最终状态）之间的区别。首先，我们讨论了这些概念如何适用于情绪领域的调节。其次，我们回顾了关于设定情绪目标和为之努力的现有研究。第三，我们强调了目标设定和目标努力如何协同作用来塑造情绪调节。最后，我们强调了将情绪调节视为一个受动机驱动的过程的重要性，以及这样做如何为本期特刊中探讨的关键主题提供信息，包括与决定因素（例如，文化作为设定情绪目标）、后果（例如，监测情绪目标进展和心理健康）和干预措施（例如，操纵情绪目标设定和努力的特征以促进适应性情绪调节）相关的主题。（PsycINFO 数据库记录（c）2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
