Abstract in brief

  • The five studies explore how individual differences in emotion regulation strategies like reappraisal (changing how you think about a situation) and suppression (stopping emotional expression) impact emotions, social interactions, and overall wellbeing.
  • Reappraisal is linked to experiencing more positive emotions, better relationships, and higher wellbeing, while suppression is associated with less positive emotions, poorer social functioning, and lower wellbeing.
  • The research highlights that these emotion regulation strategies are measurable, valid, and significantly influence emotional experiences and social outcomes, emphasizing their importance for mental health and social life.]
