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

Regulating anger and sadness: an exploration of discrete emotions in emotion regulation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the strategies that men and women use to regulate each emotion, the extent to which strategies differ in their use and effectiveness, and the relationship between effective regulation of these emotions and social functioning.

Emotion Regulation in Achievement Situations: An Integrated Model
TL;DR: The authors proposed an integrated model of emotion regulation in achievement situations (ERAS) that integrates propositions about the generation of emotions from control-value theory with propositions about how emotions are regulated and types of ER strategies from PMER.

Intimate Heartbeats: Opportunities for Affective Communication Technology
TL;DR: Results show that heartbeat communication is a promising way to increase intimacy, and it is demonstrated that a sound of the heartbeat is not sufficient to cause the effect; the stimulus must be attributed to the conversational partner in order to have influence.

Effects of Worry on Physiological and Subjective Reactivity to Emotional Stimuli in Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Nonanxious Control Participants
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of worry versus relaxation and neutral thought activity on both physiological and subjective responses to positive and negative emotional stimuli was examined, and the role of worry in emotion avoidance was discussed, suggesting that worry may facilitate avoidance of processing negative emotions by way of preventing a negative emotional contrast.
