It remains an open question as to whether individuals will experience elevated or reduced emotion responsiveness in the time period after they have stopped following the emotion regulation instructions.
Despite significantly reduced emotion recognition accuracy, we observed no group difference for perspective taking but faster affective responsiveness to negative stimuli, i.e. angry and sad situations, during the luteal phase.
Partially consistent with the maladaptive suppression hypothesis, expression suppression, while reducing the external expression of emotion, did not reduce negative emotion experience, led to increased physiological responsiveness, and impaired memory for the emotion-eliciting material.
Indeed, results suggest that reducing emotional response at the time of trauma (regardless of emotion) may help reduce flashback frequency.

As regards health care workers, high PsyCap increases constructive emotions, reduces destructive emotions and eventually increase well-being [ 59], and PsyCap also predict better work performance, better work well-being (job satisfaction, physical/psychological symptoms), and better social well-being (work-life balance, quality of life) [ 60], which also support our results.
