This constant negativity is taking a toll on Judy and she is starting to experience hatred toward her job. According to the theory of emotional regulation, Judy needs to do which of the following to control her spiraling emotions?

Drink…a little alcohol count help her chill out.
Dance…a hobby is always a good diversion.
Curse…a few choice words will help.
Exercise…get some endorphins going.

Answer 1

Judy needs to A. Vent... letting it out clears the soul.

Step-by-step explanation:

Emotional regulation refers to an individual's ability of dealing with his/her emotions in a rational and appropriate way. It is a healthy way of doing so, in order for one's emotions to not affect various aspects of his/her life.

In this case, drinking is not a viable solution and dance, exercising and cursing are in their own way a form of venting. Letting it out will clear her soul and help her.
