Individual differences in two emotion regulation processes: implications for affect, relationships, and well-being.

TLDR
Five studies tested two general hypotheses: Individuals differ in their use of emotion regulation strategies such as reappraisal and suppression, and these individual differences have implications for affect, well-being, and social relationships.
Abstract
Five studies tested two general hypotheses: Individuals differ in their use of emotion regulation strategies such as reappraisal and suppression, and these individual differences have implications for affect, well-being, and social relationships. Study 1 presents new measures of the habitual use of reappraisal and suppression. Study 2 examines convergent and discriminant validity. Study 3 shows that reappraisers experience and express greater positive emotion and lesser negative emotion, whereas suppressors experience and express lesser positive emotion, yet experience greater negative emotion. Study 4 indicates that using reappraisal is associated with better interpersonal functioning, whereas using suppression is associated with worse interpersonal functioning. Study 5 shows that using reappraisal is related positively to well-being, whereas using suppression is related negatively.

A conceptual framework for the neurobiological study of resilience

TL;DR: This work proposes a unified theoretical framework for the neuroscientific study of general resilience mechanisms and posits that a positive (non-negative) appraisal style is the key mechanism that protects against the detrimental effects of stress and mediates the effects of other known resilience factors.

How Does Stigma “Get Under the Skin”? The Mediating Role of Emotion Regulation

TL;DR: In a second experimental study, participants who ruminated following the recall of an autobiographical discrimination event exhibited prolonged distress on both implicit and explicit measures relative to participants who distracted themselves; this finding provides support for a causal role of rumination in the stigma-distress relationship.

A Person-by-Situation Approach to Emotion Regulation Cognitive Reappraisal Can Either Help or Hurt, Depending on the Context

TL;DR: Testing cognitive-reappraisal ability, the severity of recent life stressors, stressor controllability, and level of depression in 170 participants supported a theoretical model in which particular emotion-regulation strategies are not adaptive or mal adaptations per se; rather, their adaptiveness depends on the context.

Development and Validation of a Brief Version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale: The DERS-16

TL;DR: A 16-item version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale is developed – the DERS-16, which shows minimal differences in its convergent and discriminant validity with relevant measures when compared to the original DERS.
