Abstract
We developed a measure regarding interpersonal strategies of emotion regulation, and asked 310 students to report on their daily use. As a result, we gained 7 interpersonal strategies: making others uncomfortable, doing something fun together, making a joke, ruminating together, reassurance seeking, problem solving together, and complaining. The new measure demonstrated appropriate psychometric properties. We found significant gender differences on strategy use and relationships between measures of mental health. Lastly, we discussed the limitations of the current study, and prospects for future studies.
