Is Interpersonal Emotion Regulation Beneficial for All? Examining the Relationship With Psychological Well-Being in the Context of Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety.
Article in Journal of clinical psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionInterpersonal emotion regulation (IER) involves seeking out others to modify one's own emotions and is theorized to benefit health and well-being. While there is evidence of the association between IER and subjective well-being, it is unclear how IER processes are associated with psychological well-being and whether the associations between IER and well-being are similar at different levels of psychopathology, such as depression and anxiety symptoms.
methodsParticipants (N = 147) completed measures of psychological well-being, depression, anxiety, and IER within their social networks (i.e., how frequently they seek IER from social network partners and the efficacy of these IER attempts).
resultsWe found that perceived efficacy of IER, but not frequency of IER, was positively associated with psychological well-being, above and beyond overall social network quality and size. Additionally, symptoms of depression and anxiety each moderated the relationship between IER-efficacy and psychological well-being, such that the relationship between IER-efficacy and psychological well-being was weaker at higher levels of symptoms. These findings are consistent with the possibility that IER is less beneficial for those experiencing greater psychological distress. DISCUSSION: These findings highlight the importance of understanding for whom and under what circumstances IER is most strongly associated with well-being.
