Emotion regulation is an intrapersonal process in which "individuals influence which emotions they have, when they have them, and how they experience and express them" (Gross, 1998b, p. 275). Although evidence suggests that individuals do in fact share their emotions with other people with the hope that others will assist them in emotion regulation processes, no research to date has examined individuals' orientation motivations for seeking out emotion regulation through interpersonal communication. Furthermore, no research examines if interpersonal messages contain emotion regulation strategies similar to the intrapersonal strategies outlined by Gross (1998a, 1998b). The current study examined a) whether people share their emotions to up or down regulate their emotions, b) whether interpersonal exchanges contain emotion regulation strategies, and c) whether these strategies differ between the emotion sharer's regulatory orientation motivations and emotion valence. Results indicated emotion valence differences in regulatory orientation motivations, such that individuals shared positive emotion to upregulate, while they shared negative emotion to both upregulate and downregulate. Results also revealed the presence of emotion regulation strategies, some of which varied based on emotion valence (i.e., response modulation -- experiential, cognitive change -- blame/credit, situation modification). The presence of strategies did not vary, however, between emotion valence and regulatory orientation. Findings are discussed in light of their implications for existing literature in communication science and a theory is proposed for understanding the process of interpersonal emotion regulation.
