The performer who sits in a chair and burns for "what seems like an eternity" surely feels anxiety and even fear, but then must calmly move on to the next phase of the show right after the stunt, illustrating what type of emotional intelligence?

Use of emotions

A. Humility

B. Emotion regulation

C. Self-awareness

D. Other awareness

B. emotion regulation

Explanation:

Emotion regulation refers to an ability to delay a natural response in order to show an adjusted response that is intended to create a certain perception.

This can be seen in the example above.

The natural response for the person who sit in the chair and burnt would most likely to be panicked and anxious. But these performers understand that the audiences will find the performance off putting if they do that, so they use their emotion regulation to create a perception that they're calm and unaffected.
