“…In contrast, the regulatory processes-both intrinsic and extrinsic-that occur at the interpersonal level have been less studied (Campos et al, 2011;Hofmann, 2014). Regarding extrinsic emotion regulation (EER), its study has gained relevance in recent decades due to the evidence of its role as a social support mechanism related to the strengthening of bonds between people (Coo et al, 2020;Debrot et al, 2013) and its relationship with emotional well-being (Williams et al, 2018) and mental health (Christensen et al, 2020;Güney, et al, 2015;Horn & Maercker, 2016).…”

The literature on extrinsic emotion regulation or the intention to modify other people’s emotions has grown in recent years, accompanied by proposals in which its definition is made more precise, the way to understand it in relation to other related processes is delimited, and the consequences of its use in the quality of close relationships are evidenced. Conceptual reviews on this topic recognize the importance of examining the affect and dyadic dynamics that arise between those who regulate each other extrinsically. This dynamic refers to emotional interdependence, the potential of the members of a dyad to shape each other’s emotions reciprocally, particularly in those who share a close bond, such as that of a romantic couple. There is little theoretical development regarding the relevance of this characteristic in relation to EER. This article has two objectives: (1) to make a narrative synthesis of the characteristics that define EER and (2) to expand and complexify the existing model by including the emotional interdependence as a vital component in the understanding of the functioning of EER. Lastly, the role of emotional interdependence in the emergence, maintenance, and satisfaction concerning couple relationships is made explicit through phenomena such as shared reality.

“…Though we did not examine the impact of parenthood in the present study, it is possible that individuals in Study 2 were more likely to be parents, which could also have an impact on our findings. While no research to date has examined whether IER varies among parents versus romantic relationships more generally, there is evidence of its beneficial role on maternal mental health during the perinatal period (Coo et al, 2022) and in coping with the serious illness of a child (e.g., Koivula et al, 2019). Future research should examine these possibilities to further elucidate how IER might vary based on factors such as parental status and relationship length.…”

“…By strategies like emotional response adjustment, situation modification, attention deployment, and cognitive changes, emotion regulation training can increase affective regulation and decrease inefficient thoughts, including ruminative thinking. Therefore, by improving capabilities like focused attention and selfmonitoring, emotion regulation may be effective in reducing rumination in the mothers of children with intellectual disability (19).…”

Background and Purpose: Children with intellectual disability may cause growing psychological problems for their parents, specifically the mothers as the principal caregivers. During the recent years, different research and clinical methods have been used to reduce these psychological problems. Present research was conducted to compare the effectiveness of emotion regulation training and mindfulness training on the reduction of rumination in the mothers of children with mild intellectual disability. Method: This study was a quasi-experimental research with multi-group pretest-posttest design. The population included all the mothers of children with mild intellectual disability who had referred to the special schools of Rasht in the academic year 2019-2020. Among them, a sample of 36 mothers was selected by purposive sampling and then randomly assigned into the experimental or control groups (12 mothers per group). To collect the data, Ruminative Response Scale (Nolen-Hoeksema & Morrow, 1991) was used. After nine 90-min sessions of emotion regulation training and mindfulness training conducted for the experimental groups, all the three groups were reassessed at the post-test stage. Data were analyzed by one-way ANCOVA and multivariate ANCOVA in SPSS-22. Results: Data analysis showed that emotion regulation training and mindfulness training significantly decreased the overall rumination and its components in the mothers of children with mild intellectual disability (P<0.01). Furthermore, based on the results of post hoc tests, it can be said that there was no significant difference between emotion regulation training and mindfulness training in reducing the overall rumination and its components (P>0.05). Conclusion:Based on these findings, it can be said that emotion regulation by improving the emotional repair, reducing the negative self-referential processing, and increasing the ability of doing purposive behaviors, and mindfulness training by increasing the present moment awareness and more efficient information processing are effective in reducing rumination in the mothers of children with mild intellectual disability.
