Romantic couples (N = 127) engaged in a relationship conflict interaction during which their autonomic physiology, emotional experience, and emotional behavior were recorded. Couples were assigned randomly to one of two interventions, or to a control condition: In the affective suppression condition, one partner was instructed to refrain from expressing emotions. In the positive mindset condition, one partner was instructed to think about the positive aspects of the relationship. Results revealed that emotion regulation interventions influenced the physiology, emotional behavior, and emotional experience of both the manipulated person and his or her partner, who was oblivious to regulation manipulations. Specifically, suppression increased, and positive mindset decreased cardiovascular arousal and negative affect. These effects were generally exacerbated among those high on attachment anxiety and attenuated among those high on attachment avoidance. The results of this research corroborate and extend the Temporal Interpersonal Emotion Systems model (Butler, 2011) in the context of relationship conflict interactions.
浪漫伴侣（N=127）参与了一场关系冲突互动，在此期间记录了他们的自主生理、情绪体验和情绪行为。伴侣被随机分配到两种干预措施之一，或对照组：在情感抑制条件下，一方被指示不要表达情绪。在积极心态条件下，一方被指示思考关系的积极方面。结果表明，情绪调节干预影响了被操纵者及其伴侣的生理、情绪行为和情绪体验，而后者对调节操纵一无所知。具体来说，抑制增加，积极心态降低心血管唤醒和负面情绪。在依恋焦虑程度高的人中，这些影响更为严重，而在依恋回避程度高的人中，这些影响则减弱。这项研究的结果在关系冲突互动的背景下证实和扩展了 Temporal Interpersonal Emotion Systems 模型（Butler，2011）。
