浪漫夫妻(N=127)参与了一种关系冲突互动，在此期间他们的自主生理、情绪体验和情绪行为被记录下来。夫妻被随机分配到两种干预措施中的一种，或者被分配到控制条件：在情感压抑条件下，其中一人被指示不要表达情绪。在积极心态的情况下，其中一方被要求思考这段关系的积极方面。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，而被操纵者对调节操作并不知情。具体地说，压抑增加了，积极的心态减少了心血管唤醒和负面影响。这些影响在依恋焦虑程度高的人中普遍加剧，而在依恋回避程度高的人中减弱。本研究的结果证实并扩展了巴特勒(Butler，2011)在关系冲突互动背景下的时间人际情绪系统模型。
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.
