The present study examined the effects of situation and other-consciousness on suppression of the emotions of anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprise. Situations were operationalized using a combination of people and places. Based on results of a cluster analysis, 10 situations were selected from 55 person-place situations. Results suggested that the negative emotions of anger, disgust, and sadness were easier to suppress than was happiness. Further, level of suppression varied with the situation; different situations presented different patterns of emotional suppression. Gender differences were found in the emotions of anger, fear and sadness. However, no significant effects were found for other-consciousness on suppression. Significant differences in the tendency to express positive emotions was found in the person condition, but not in the place condition.
