In this paper, a review of the scientific literature on the self-regulation of academic emotions is offered. A systematized search of documents was carried out in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. A total of 29 articles and book chapters were selected, which met the previously established eligibility criteria. Data and theoretical interpretations were collected that have allowed us to obtain a global vision of the state of knowledge about the principal nuclei of interest: types and frequency of use of emotional self-regulation strategies, situational conditions in which they are applied, correlates of their use and individual moderating differences.
