What it concludes

• Controlling our emotions is possible because there is a gap between stimulus and response.
• The process model of emotion consists of four steps: situation, attention, appraisal, and emotional response.

• People fixated on happiness often experience secondary negative emotions like guilt and frustration.
• Reappraisal helps re-evaluate thoughts about a situation to accept sadness and cultivate hope.
