“…First, interpersonal emotion regulation, as conceptualized and assessed in our study, is intentional and explicit (Niven, 2017; Zaki & Williams, 2013). Regulation effort, in turn, reflects this intentionality (Lewczuk et al, 2022). However, the regulation of one’s own emotions through others can also happen automatically without conscious effort (van Dellen et al, 2012).…”

Interpersonal emotion regulation shapes people's emotional and relational experiences. Yet, researchers know little about the regulation processes that influence these outcomes. Recent works in the intrapersonal emotion regulation space suggest that motivational strength, or effort, people invest in regulation might be the answer. We applied this motivated approach for the first time in the interpersonal space-looking at both intrinsic and extrinsic forms of interpersonal emotion regulation-in order to identify the potential emotional and relational outcomes of putting effort into regulating one's own emotions through others, and regulating others' emotions. In daily diary (N = 171) and experience sampling (N = 239) studies, we examined participants' interpersonal emotion regulation behaviors and socioemotional experiences in everyday social interactions over the course of 1 week. These methods allowed us to examine effort at both momentary and person levels. We found that people who habitually put in more intrinsic effort to feel better through others felt worse overall. People also felt worse on occasions when they put in more effort to extrinsically help others feel better, although at the person level extrinsic effort was associated with higher interaction quality. Together, our findings suggest that interpersonal emotion regulation success is not simply a matter of trying hard. This observation opens new research avenues to investigate the interplay of different factors that determine when, and for whom, investing effort in interpersonal emotion regulation pays off.

“…The perception of effort refers to the requirements of the task and appears as a key factor in regulating emotions and motivation [ 25 ]. It is characterized by (1) local physiological determinants (i.e., metabolic acidosis, lactatemia, availability of energy substrates, and muscle blood flow) and central ones (i.e., ventilation (VE), the volume of oxygen consumed (VO2), heart rate (HR), etc.)…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between mental fatigue induced by a demanding cognitive task and impaired physical performance in endurance due to a higher perception of effort. A total of 12 healthy adults and volunteers, who had previously practiced endurance activities for 4 to 8 h per week, performed a one-hour cognitive task involving either the process of response inhibition (Stroop task) or not (visualization of a documentary as control task), then 20 min of pedaling on a cycle ergometer at a constant perception of effort while cardio-respiratory and neuromuscular functions were measured. The Stroop task induces subjective feelings of mental fatigue (vigor: 3.92 ± 2.61; subjective workload: 58.61 ± 14.57) compared to the control task (vigor: 5.67 ± 3.26; p = 0.04; subjective workload: 32.5 ± 10.1; p = 0.005). This fatigue did not act on the produced perceived effort, self-imposed, and did not affect the cardio-respiratory or neuromuscular functions during the subsequent physical task whose type was medium-term endurance. Regardless of the mental condition, the intensity of physical effort is better controlled when the participants in physical activity control their perception of effort. Mental fatigue does not affect subsequent physical performance but estimated perceived exertion, which increases with the intensity and duration of the exercise.

“…The second explanation is that emotion differentiation and emotion regulation variability may compete for similar resources outside the emotion system, so that when one process is more active, the other is less so. For example, Lewczuk et al (2022) suggested that emotion regulation requires effort and leads to fatigue. If differentiating emotions similarly requires effort, heightened emotion differentiation might limit how much emotion regulation strategies can vary, and vice versa.…”

To adapt to changing situations in daily lives, adolescents vary the intensity of strategies or switch between strategies to regulate their emotions. This emotion regulation variability is thought to be enhanced by emotion differentiation, which refers to how well adolescents distinctively label their emotions. We tested this assumption in five experience sampling method datasets, which repeatedly assessed emotion differentiation and emotion regulation variability in 750 adolescents’ daily life (aged 11 to 25, 59.17% female, 25834 observations). Unexpectedly, moments of higher emotion differentiation were followed by more consistent use of emotion regulation strategies (i.e., lower emotion regulation variability). Reciprocally, moments with high emotion regulation variability were followed by less emotion differentiation. These negative bidirectional temporal influences were present regardless of the types of variability (intensity or switching) and emotions (positive or negative). Our results prompt the need of further studying the benefits and interplay between emotion differentiation and regulation variability.
