Emotion regulation (ER) is foundational to mental health and well-being. In the last ten years, there has been an increasing focus on this use of interactive technologies to support ER training in a variety of contexts. However, work has been done by researchers from diverse fields, and no cohesive research agenda exists that explicates how and why interactive technologies may benefit ER training. To address this gap, this paper presents the initial results of a descriptive review of 38 peer-reviewed papers on this topic. Qualitative analysis revealed four opportunity themes where interactive technologies appear to provide unique benefits. The analysis also revealed three challenge themes where design guidance, particularly around emotion representation, is ambiguous or underspecified. Based on our findings, we propose future research in these thematic areas; we also propose intersectional themes and underexplored areas that researchers and designers may find productive to explore.
