Being able to regulation one's emotions is imperative to one's ability to optimize one's own experiences and one's interactions with others. Given that humans are fundamentally social animals (e.g., Baumeister & Leary, 1995), it is critical to consider if, when, and how people regulate their emotions interpersonally. Most individuals can likely think of times that they turned to other people to help them to celebrate an accomplishment or feel better after a disappointment. Yet, the vast majority of the emotion regulation work to date has adopted an intrapersonal perspective; however, interpersonal emotion regulation and related processes are clearly central processes to people's emotional lives. In this dissertation we investigate various processes related to interpersonal emotion regulation. One behavior that may lead to the initiation of interpersonal emotion regulation efforts simply is whether someone decides to share an experienced emotion with another person or suppress it in the presence of another person. Our findings suggest that, generally, people low in anxious and in avoidant attachment believe that expressing emotion is helpful and not harmful. In contrast, people high in either (or both) anxious attachment or avoidant attachment generally report beliefs that expressing emotion will harm both themselves and their relationships. Once the decision to share emotion is made, it is important to consider what the effect is of simply sharing that emotion in a dyadic context, and whether, depending on the partner, this has any emotion regulatory effect. Our findings suggest that sharing in the context of an unsafe or untrustworthy relationship may have deleterious effects on one's emotional experience compared with self-reflection that we do not see in the context of more safe and trusting relationships. Additionally, sharing negative emotions in a trustworthy relational context may confer positive emotion benefits that we do not see when individuals reflected on their negative life event alone. Another factor that must be considered when emotion expression occurs in a dyadic context is how the partner judges the person expressing an emotion to the partner. We found that for many individuals (except those with high harmfulness beliefs), when emotion expression is high in a relational context that is not clearly a close and caring one, some individuals, despite holding beliefs about the harmlessness of emotion expression in a close relationship context, judge more emotion expression to be less favorable compared to lower levels of expression. Finally, the aspects of the relational context and the type of interpersonal emotion regulation strategy implemented may play a role in how effective this process is in regulating the expresser's emotions. Our findings do not provide evidence for the differential effectiveness of two interpersonal emotion regulation strategy types (reappraisal and distraction) in different relational contexts (desiring a communal relationship and desiring an exchange relationship) for emotion experience. However, it appears that, generally, use of interpersonal emotion regulation strategies in a relationship context where the regulator may desire a communal relationship leads to decreased trust and comfort on the part of the recipient. These studies provide interesting and novel information that inform our understanding of processes that may be involved in interpersonal emotion regulation.
