Mindfulness and Interpersonal Emotion Regulation in Romantic Relationships

This study investigates the relationship between trait mindfulness and interpersonal emotion regulation (IER) within romantic dyads. We will examine how participants’ trait mindfulness predicts the frequency and efficacy of both their own and their partner’s IER through self-report trait measures. We will also examine how participants’ trait mindfulness predicts the efficacy of both their own and their partner’s emotion regulation during an emotion regulation task in the presence of their partner.
