Emotion work may be defined as the management of one's own feelings, or work done in an effort to maintain a relationship; there is dispute as to whether emotion work is only work done regulating one's own emotion, or extends to performing the emotional work for others. For example, one may attempt deep breathing in order to reduce anger.
