 Although there is tentative evidence for the value of affect labeling in clinical settings, researchers acknowledge that there is still a need for many more studies drawing from clinical populations in order to deduce the value of using affect labeling in conjunction with other treatments before it can be safely adopted into practice.The use of self-report measures of emotion in psychological research may invoke affect labeling, even in studies unrelated to the topic.Whether or not this poses a problem for emotion researchers is still largely unknown.
