The emotional response can modulated at each of the different stages of emotion. Situation selection refers to taking steps to influence which situation one will be exposed to. Situation modification is changing one or more relevant aspects of the situation. Attentional deployments is the influencing which portions of the situation are perceived. Cognitive change consists of altering the way the situation is cognitively represented. The last step is response modulation, which is directly modifying emotion-related actions. (Gross, 1998.)
