Spock: "Listen, Doctor McCoy! You have to learn to handle your emotions, otherwise you will break down one day."  Wrath of Khan / Star Trek II)(The   Negative affective states are sometimes useful and inevitable. Even though, to get along with others, it is necessary to manage ones subjective experience of affect, especially its intensity and duration, and to manage strategically ones expression of affective state (Saarni, 1999).  1.1 The construct of negative affect regulation

1.1.1 Defining the term affect The field of affect regulation is characterized by a conceptual and definitional chaos. Several distinctions have been made to structure that chaos. Many of these distinctions are idiosyncratic. In some contexts, the terms affect, emotion and mood were used interchangeable. In others, emotions were distinguished from moods. One distinguishing feature is duration. If emotional reactions are like storms, then moods are like seasonal climate change (Rottenberg & Gross, 2003). The term emotion indicates acute emotional states that occur in response to specific stimuli (Parkinson et al., 1996). Mood, however, is generally thought to be longer, slower moving, and less tied to specific objects or elicitors (Watson, 2000) (see Figure 1). 
