Answer:

De-intensification

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple words, de-intensification can be understood as the emotional display rule under which the individual subject to extreme emotions holds himself or herself back to not look weak or awkward in any way. This rule is applied to control emotions in extreme case like happiness while getting married or getting angry while someone is yelling at you etc.
