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.

One versus many: Capturing the use of multiple emotion regulation strategies in response to an emotion-eliciting stimulus

TL;DR: Findings are presented suggesting that people spontaneously use multiple emotion regulation strategies in response to a brief disgust-eliciting film clip, and implications for future empirical work on emotionregulation strategies.

Social anxiety and emotion regulation in daily life: spillover effects on positive and negative social events.

TL;DR: It is found that when people high in social anxiety relied more on positive emotion suppression, they reported fewer positive social events and less positive emotion on the subsequent day, and maladaptive strategy use contributed to diminished reward responsiveness.

How something can be said about telling more than we can know: On choice blindness and introspection. Commentary and Authors' reply

TL;DR: In this article, word-frequency and latent semantic analysis (LSA) are used to investigate a corpus of introspective reports collected within the choice blindness paradigm and contrast the introspective reasons given in non-manipulated vs. manipulated trials, but find very few differences between these two groups of reports.

Unpacking the informational bases of empathic accuracy.

TL;DR: Results suggest that auditory, and especially verbal information, is critical to EA, and expressive targets varying in trait emotional expressivity predicted both target behavior and EA, an effect influenced by the valence of the events they discussed.

Teachers' Anger, Frustration, and Self-Regulation

TL;DR: This article explored teacher's emotions such as anger and frustration, which arise from a number of sources related to thwarted goals including misbehavior and violation of rules, factors outside the classroom that make it difficult to teach well, uncooperative colleagues, and parents who do not follow appropriate behavior norms or are perceived as uncaring and irresponsible.

The moderator–mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: Conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations.

TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.

Stress, social support, and the buffering hypothesis.

TL;DR: There is evidence consistent with both main effect and main effect models for social support, but each represents a different process through which social support may affect well-being.

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

TL;DR: 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.

TL;DR: Experimental and quasi-experimental studies suggest that social isolation is a major risk factor for mortality from widely varying causes and the mechanisms through which social relationships affect health remain to be explored.
