Abstract

Interpersonal emotion regulation involves having emotions changed in a social context. While some research has used the term to refer to instances where others are used to alter one’s own emotions (intrinsic), other research refers to goal-directed actions aimed at modifying others’ emotional responses (extrinsic). We argue that the self-other distinction should be applied not only to the target (who has their emotion regulated) but also to the means (whether the agent uses themselves or others to achieve the regulation). Based on this, we propose interpersonal emotion regulation can take place when an agent changes a target’s emotions by affecting a third party’s emotion who will shift the emotion of the target in turn (direct other-based interpersonal ER) or by impacting a third party’s emotion (indirect other-based interpersonal ER). We discuss these processes and the conditions that lead to their emergence reconciling findings from different fields and suggesting new research venues.

人际情绪调节的社会动力：理解基于他人的直接和间接过程的理论框架

摘要人际情绪调节涉及在社会环境中改变情绪。一些研究用这个词来指利用他人来改变自己的情绪（内在），而另一些研究则指旨在改变他人情绪反应的目标导向行动（外在）。我们认为，自我与他人的区别不仅应适用于目标（谁的情绪受到调节），还应适用于手段（行为主体是利用自己还是他人来实现调节）。在此基础上，我们提出人际情绪调节可以发生在代理人通过影响第三方的情绪来改变目标对象的情绪，而第三方的情绪又会反过来改变目标对象的情绪（直接的基于他人的人际情绪调节），或者通过影响第三方的情绪来改变目标对象的情绪（间接的基于他人的人际情绪调节）。我们讨论了这些过程以及导致其出现的条件，调和了不同领域的研究结果，并提出了新的研究方向。

期刊介绍： Motivation and Emotion publishes articles on human motivational and emotional phenomena that make theoretical advances by linking empirical findings to underlying processes. Submissions should focus on key problems in motivation and emotion, and, if using non-human participants, should contribute to theories concerning human behavior. Articles should be explanatory rather than merely descriptive, providing the data necessary to understand the origins of motivation and emotion, to explicate why, how, and under what conditions motivational and emotional states change, and to document that these processes are important to human functioning.A range of methodological approaches are welcome, with methodological rigor as the key criterion. Manuscripts that rely exclusively on self-report data are appropriate, but published articles tend to be those that rely on objective measures (e.g., behavioral observations, psychophysiological responses, reaction times, brain activity, and performance or achievement indicators) either singly or combination with self-report data.The journal generally does not publish scale development and validation articles. However, it is open to articles that focus on the post-validation contribution that a new measure can make. Scale development and validation work therefore may be submitted if it is used as a necessary prerequisite to follow-up studies that demonstrate the importance of the new scale in making a theoretical advance.
