When, why, and how well do we regulate other people's emotions?

该项目旨在了解人们何时以及为何试图调节他人的情绪，并评估哪种调节过程最有效。我们将研究情侣之间和护士同事之间在几分钟、几天和几个月的互动中发生的调节尝试。这个项目将情绪调节的研究扩展到他人的情绪以及自己的情绪。主要的项目产出将是外在调控的循证理论。项目的好处包括将这些新知识应用于减少医护人员和夫妇的负面情绪和压力的计划和政策，减少工作场所的倦怠、工作失误、关系破裂及其相关的经济成本。

This project aims to understand when and why people attempt to regulate others' emotions, and to evaluate which regulation processes are most effective. We will study regulation attempts as they occur over minutes, days, and months in interactions between romantic couples and between nurse co-workers. This project extends the study of emotion regulation to others’ emotions as well as one’s own. The major project output will be an evidence-based theory of extrinsic regulation. Project benefits include applications of this new knowledge to programs and policies that reduce negative emotions and stress in healthcare workers and couples, reducing workplace burnout, on-the-job errors, relationship breakdown and their associated economic costs.
