Recently, there has been a push for taking a more interpersonal approach to emotion regulation. However, most work continues to look at regulators in isolation and focus on strategies that do not involve others. Our objective is to highlight the interpersonal nature of emotion regulation by providing a targeted review of its social consequences, including effects on the regulator and their interaction partners. For illustrative purposes, we focus on one commonly used strategy that has received particular attention in this area, namely, expressive suppression. We briefly review existing research on social consequences of suppression and then delineate underlying mechanisms and potential boundary conditions. Finally, we provide recommendations for expanding this area of research, including (a) incorporating a more diverse set of strategies, especially interpersonal ones; (b) examining a wider range of relationship contexts and levels of analysis; and (c) evaluating emotion regulation as a dynamic, shared phenomenon.

最近，人们越来越提倡采用更具人际互动的方式来进行情绪调节。然而，大多数研究仍然孤立地看待调节者，并关注不涉及他人的策略。我们的目标是通过提供对其社会后果的针对性综述，突出情绪调节的人际本质，包括对调节者及其互动伙伴的影响。为了说明问题，我们重点关注一种在该领域受到特别关注的常用策略，即表达抑制。我们简要回顾了关于抑制的社会后果的现有研究，然后描述了潜在的机制和潜在的边界条件。最后，我们为扩展这一研究领域提供了建议，包括：（a）纳入更多策略，特别是人际策略；（b）考察更广泛的关系背景和分析层次；（c）将情绪调节评估为一种动态的、共享的现象。
