Summary/Abstract: Whereas many researchers have been interested in behavioral self-regulation, interest in the self-regulation of affect is recent. Mood system and mood regulation components are presented. A model of mood regulation is submitted, which draws on principles of maximizing positive and minimizing negative affects — other things being equal, people prefer to maintain a positive hedonic balance. A taxonomy of strategies and behaviors for remediating unpleasant affect and maintaining positive affect is presented. Influence of mood valency on the mood regulation are outlined.
