TLDR
The authors' analysis suggests that expressive suppression should disrupt communication and increase stress levels during social interactions, and this hypothesis was tested in unacquainted pairs of women.Abstract:
At times, people keep their emotions from showing during social interactions. The authors' analysis suggests that such expressive suppression should disrupt communication and increase stress levels. To test this hypothesis, the authors conducted 2 studies in which unacquainted pairs of women discussed an upsetting topic. In Study 1, one member of each pair was randomly assigned to (a) suppress her emotional behavior, (b) respond naturally, or (c) cognitively reappraise in a way that reduced emotional responding. Suppression alone disrupted communication and magnified blood pressure responses in the suppressors' partners. In Study 2, suppression had a negative impact on the regulators' emotional experience and increased blood pressure in both regulators and their partners. Suppression also reduced rapport and inhibited relationship formation.read more

A Process Account of the Relationship between Informal Learning and Expressions of Anger and Anxiety.
TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual, process-based framework is proposed to explain the relationship between informal learning and stressful emotions of anger and anxiety, and the proposed framework suggests that informal learning in conjunction with emotion regulation can help neutralize negative emotions and promote improved cognitive functioning, better social functioning and higher task performance.

Predicting perceived infidelity from gender and interpersonal traits
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether perceived infidelity may be predicted from gender, communion, fear of intimacy, and rejection sensitivity, and found that women, high-communion individuals, and low fear-of-intimacy individuals were more likely to perceive sex-based acts (e.g. sexual intercourse) and emotion-based act (i.e. falling in love without acting on the feelings) as constituting infidelity.
