Do people really fare better if they can rely on many social ties? Research suggests that benefits of interpersonal emotion regulation (ER) can be derived from both large and small social networks. Building on the intrapersonal regulatory flexibility model, we propose the emotion regulation repertoire of social support (ERROSS) model that views effective socioemotional support as the combination of network size and ER strategies, resulting in a repertoire of ER resources one can draw on. Best outcomes in mental health should follow from both a large network and a diverse repertoire of strategies. ERROSS is applied as an example in the context of bereavement, and specific contributions of the model are highlighted.

如果人们能够依靠许多社会纽带，他们的生活真的会更好吗？研究表明，人际情感调节（ER）的好处可以从大型和小型社交网络中获得。在人际规章灵活性模型的基础上，我们提出了社会支持的情绪调节库（ERROSS）模型，该模型将有效的社会情感支持视为网络规模和ER策略的组合，从而形成了可以借鉴的ER资源库。心理健康的最佳结果应来自庞大的网络和多样化的策略。在丧亲的背景下，以ERROSS为例，突出了模型的具体作用。
