Suppression is one of the most commonly studied emotion-regulation strategies and a variety of studies have shown that suppression of emotions is associated with adverse affective outcomes. Most of the evidence for this conclusion comes from laboratory manipulations in which people enact experimentally induced suppression or from survey-based recollections. In the present pair of studies (468 participants total), we used real-time experience sampling data to examine the effect of naturally occurring suppression of negative emotion at one moment on subsequent reports of both negative and positive emotion. Results demonstrated that suppression led to later increases in both high-activation and low-activation negative emotions, over and above the level of negative emotion being suppressed. These findings add ecologically valid support to the growing body of evidence showing that emotional suppression is not only an ineffective emotion-regulation strategy, but also a costly one.

抑制负面情绪会损害随后的情绪吗？两次经验抽样研究

抑制是最常研究的情绪调节策略之一，各种研究表明，抑制情绪与不良的情感结局有关。该结论的大部分证据来自实验室操作，人们在实验室操作中实施了实验性抑制作用或基于调查的回忆。在目前的这对研究中（总共4​​68名参与者），我们使用了实时经验采样数据来检验自然抑制一次负面情绪对随后的负面和正面情绪报告的影响。结果表明，抑制会导致后来的高激活和低激活负情绪都增加，超出了抑制负情绪的水平。
