Emotion regulation is the process of consciously altering one's affective
state, that is the underlying emotional state such as happiness, confidence,
guilt, anger etc. The ability to effectively regulate emotions is necessary for
functioning efficiently in everyday life. Today, the pervasiveness of digital
technology is being purposefully employed to modify our affective states, a
process known as digital emotion regulation. Understanding digital emotion
regulation can help support the rise of ethical technology design, development,
and deployment. This article presents an overview of digital emotion regulation
in social media applications, as well as a synthesis of recent research on
emotion regulation interventions for social media. We share our findings from
analysing state-of-the-art literature on how different social media
applications are utilised at different stages in the process of emotion
regulation.
