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.

Emotion regulation strategies as transdiagnostic processes: A closer look at the invariance of their form and function.

TL;DR: In this article, a functional behavioral approach is proposed to delineate which aspects of emotion regulation implementation are variant and which are invariant across disorders, which can be used to further understand the transdiagnostic and disorder-specific mechanisms by which emotion regulation is associated with the development, maintenance, and treatment of mental disorders.

TL;DR: This work broadens the understanding of connections between emotion regulation, physiological responses, and cognitive processes in dyads by hypothesized that interacting with suppressive partners would be more threatening than interacting with expressive partners.

Emotion regulation mediates age differences in emotions

TL;DR: Testing the proposition of socioemotional selectivity theory whether older people would use more antecedent-focused emotion regulatory strategies like cognitive reappraisal but fewer response-focused strategies like suppression showed that age was significantly associated with positive emotions and cognitive reappRAisal.

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.
