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

Poker-faced morality: Concealing emotions leads to utilitarian decision making
Jooa Julia Lee,Francesca Gino +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine how making deliberate efforts to regulate aversive affective responses influences people's decisions in moral dilemmas and find that emotion regulation,mainly suppression and reappraisal, will encourage utilitarian choices in emotionally charged contexts and that this effect will be mediated by the decision maker's decreased deontological inclinations.

Attitudes and Cognitive Consistency: The Role of Associative and Propositional Processes
TL;DR: The authors found that cognitive inconsistency causes aversive feelings that, in turn, are assumed to have a powerful influence on judgments, decisions, and behavior, and that people change their attitudes or their behavior in order to reduce the uncomfortable feeling caused by inconsistent cognitions.
