To test these ideas, we recruited romantic couples (Study 1 = 134, Study 2 = 121) across the adult lifespan (age 23-92) to complete  \n9 days of daily diaries and engage in an emotional conversation in the lab. Using actor-partner interdependence modeling, we found that greater IER effort was generally associated with more positive emotional and relational outcomes in both partners. However, IER effort was also linked to greater negative emotion in the regulator, especially when this support was under-acknowledged. IER was more strongly linked to wellbeing outcomes for relatively older targets. Results contribute to a deeper understanding of the motivational aspect of emotion regulation across adulthood. Putting in greater effort to manage the emotions of a close partner may have mixed consequences for both younger and older adults.  \nAbstract citation ID: igaf122.1396  \nINTERPERSONAL EMOTION REGULATION EFFORT IN  \nROMANTIC COUPLES ACROSS ADULTHOOD  \nTammy English1, Claire Growney2, Jocelyn Lai1, and Junyuan Luo1, 1.

Stanford University, Stanford, California, United States  \nExtrinsic interpersonal emotion regulation (IER) refers to when an individual (the regulator) attempts to regulate the emotions of another person (the target) . Outcomes of IER are theorized to depend on both the strategy one deploys and the regulator’s motivational strength or effort put into IER. Greater effort is expected to lead to greater success in helping the target resolve the stressor and may strengthen the regulator-target relationship. However, there may be personal costs to the regulator due to the demands of IER.
