Researchers have examined how several contexts impact the effectiveness of emotion regulation strategies. However, few have considered the emotion-to-be-regulated as a context of interest. Specific emotions are important contexts because they may require particular responses to internal and external stimuli for optimal regulation. Ninety-two undergraduates completed 10 days of ecological momentary assessment, reporting their current mood, recent emotions, and emotion regulation strategies three times per day. The frequency with which certain emotion regulation strategies were used (i.e., acceptance, positive refocusing, reappraisal, problem-solving, and other-blame) differed by the specific emotion experienced. Acceptance and positive refocusing were associated with better mood regardless of emotion, while substance use was associated with worse mood regardless of emotion. Reappraisal was associated with better mood in response to anger than anxiety or sadness, while emotional suppression and other-blame were associated with worse mood in response to anger. These results suggest some emotion regulation strategies exhibit emotion-invariant effects while others depend on the emotion-to-be-regulated.

作为情境的情绪：情绪调节策略的自然效果是否取决于调节的情绪？

研究人员研究了几种环境如何影响情绪调节策略的有效性。但是，很少有人考虑将要调节的情绪作为感兴趣的上下文。特定的情绪是重要的情境，因为它们可能需要对内部和外部刺激做出特定的反应才能实现最佳调节。92名大学生完成了为期10天的生态瞬时评估，每天报告3次其当前的情绪，最近的情绪和情绪调节策略。使用某些情绪调节策略（即接受，积极地重新聚焦，重新评估，解决问题和其他责备）的频率因经历的特定情绪而异。不论情绪如何，接受和积极的重新专注都会带来更好的情绪，不论情绪如何，吸毒都会使情绪恶化。重新评估与对焦虑的反应比对焦虑或悲伤的情绪更好有关，而抑制情绪和其他责备与对愤怒的情绪较差有关。这些结果表明，某些情绪调节策略表现出情绪不变的效果，而另一些则依赖于要调节的情绪。
