情绪调节主要是通过实验或回溯性特质问卷来研究的。很少有研究在情绪调节通常被运用的背景下，即日常生活的复杂性中研究情绪调节。本文通过两项经验抽样研究(NS=46和95)研究了六种情绪调节策略(反思、重新评价、沉思、分心、表情抑制和社交分享)的使用及其与日常生活中积极情感(PA)和消极情感(NA)变化的关系，从而解决了这一问题。关于情绪调节策略的相对使用，在两项研究中都发现了高度相似的排序，分心的使用多于分享和重新评估。虽然所有六种策略的使用在人内和人与人之间都是正相关的，但不同的策略与不同的情感后果相关：在两项研究中，压抑和沉思与NA的增加和PA的减少有关，而反思与PA的增加有关。此外，在研究2中，重新评价、分心和社交分享与PA的增加有关。讨论的重点是当前的发现如何与情绪调节的理论模型以及之前的实验和回顾研究的证据相吻合。
Emotion regulation has primarily been studied either experimentally or by using retrospective trait questionnaires. Very few studies have investigated emotion regulation in the context in which it is usually deployed, namely, the complexity of everyday life. We address this in the current paper by reporting findings of two experience-sampling studies (Ns = 46 and 95) investigating the use of six emotion-regulation strategies (reflection, reappraisal, rumination, distraction, expressive suppression, and social sharing) and their associations with changes in positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA) in daily life. Regarding the relative use of emotion-regulation strategies, a highly similar ordering was found across both studies with distraction being used more than sharing and reappraisal. While the use of all six strategies was positively correlated both within-and between-persons, different strategies were associated with distinct affective consequences: Suppression and rumination were associated with increases in NA and decreases in PA, whereas reflection was associated with increases in PA across both studies. Additionally, reappraisal, distraction, and social sharing were related to increases in PA in Study 2. Discussion focuses on how the current findings fit with theoretical models of emotion regulation and with previous evidence from experimental and retrospective studies.
