We examined self and friends' ratings of social relationship quality and everyday social interactions in 3 studies involving 544 college students in Germany, Spain, and the United States. Scores on a situational judgment test measuring strategic emotion regulation ability (SERA) were negatively related to conflict with others. SERA was more consistently and strongly related to conflict with others than to the positive dimension of relationship quality (support, companionship, and nurturance). The relationship between SERA and conflict was generally not mediated by trait positive or negative affect, and it remained significant or marginally significant controlling for the Big Five personality traits. These findings highlight the importance of the ability to evaluate emotional situations and identify effective responses to these in interpersonal emotion regulation. Furthermore, they suggest that situational judgment and flexible response selection may help people to manage conflicts more than to bond with others.
我们在涉及德国、西班牙和美国的 3 项研究中，分别考察了自我和朋友对社会关系质量和日常社交互动的评价。一项衡量策略性情绪调节能力（SERA）的情景判断测试的得分与他人发生冲突呈负相关。SERA 与他人发生冲突的关系比与关系质量的积极维度（支持、陪伴和养育）更一致、更强烈。SERA 与冲突之间的关系通常不受特质积极或消极情绪的影响，并且在控制五大人格特质后，这种关系仍然显著或边缘显著。这些发现强调了评估情绪情境和识别应对这些情境的有效方法在人际情绪调节中的重要性。此外，它们表明情景判断和灵活的反应选择可能有助于人们管理冲突，而不是与他人建立联系。
