Three observations motivated the target article (Gross, this issue). The first is that emotion regulation processes play a crucial role in health and illness, and thus warrant deeper understanding. The second is that a growing appreciation of the importance of emotion regulation processes has led to an extraordinary increase in research in this area. The third is that there is an urgent need for a process-oriented framework to integrate and guide this research, one that would extend the process model of emotion regulation, first proposed nearly two decades ago (Gross, 1998b). I was therefore delighted that the dozen-plus distinguished scholars who provided commentaries on the target article not only endorsed these three motivating observations but also saw merit in the extended process model (EPM) as a framework for integrating existing research and for suggesting directions for future research. In light of this agreeable consensus, I use this response to (a) offer a precis of the EPM,(b) elaborate upon five core features of the EPM,(c) highlight some of the many applications of the EPM suggested by the commentators, and (d) discuss theoretical and empirical challenges and future directions.
