情绪抑制通常与消极的社会后果有关（Butler等人，2003; Gross & John，2003）。然而，从文化的角度来看，这些后果可能会受到文化价值观的影响。我们在一项由两部分组成的研究中验证了这一假设，发现对于持有西欧价值观的美国人来说，习惯性抑制与自我保护目标和负面情绪有关。此外，实验引发的抑制导致减少人际反应在面对面的互动，沿着负面的合作伙伴的看法和敌对行为。这些有害的影响减少时，个人与更多的亚洲价值观的抑制，这些减少是介导的文化差异的反应的抑制。这些研究结果表明，压制的许多负面社会影响可能会被文化价值观所缓和。
Emotional suppression has been associated with generally negative social consequences (Butler et al., 2003; Gross & John, 2003). A cultural perspective suggests, however, that these consequences may be moderated by cultural values. We tested this hypothesis in a two-part study, and found that, for Americans holding Western-European values, habitual suppression was associated with self-protective goals and negative emotion. In addition, experimentally elicited suppression resulted in reduced interpersonal responsiveness during face-to-face interaction, along with negative partner-perceptions and hostile behavior. These deleterious effects were reduced when individuals with more Asian values suppressed, and these reductions were mediated by cultural differences in the responsiveness of the suppressors. These findings suggest that many of suppression's negative social impacts may be moderated by cultural values.
