Nonetheless the research interest in processes involved in ER has grown rapidly.
Increasingly attention has been directed to unintentional regulation of emotions and
the ways of measuring the biological responses in ER (Wirtz et al., 2006, Rimmele et
al, 2007). Previous research interest in ER was largely focused on intentional-
responsive regulation, (Muraven et al 1998; Gross & Levenson 1997; Wegner, Erber
& Zanakos 1993) where only intentional responses where recorded, and the data was
based mainly on self-reports. Consequently LeDoux (2000) pointed out the need to
discover new approaches in emotional research. Furthermore, while some field
strategies measured ER, there was less attention given to automatic regulatory
processes such as physiological responses and taught behaviour patterns in childhood
(Fitzsimons & Bargh, 2004; Gollwitzer, 1999; Cohen, 1997). Davidson (2000) argued
