Abstract

Emotion regulation entails using specific strategies to manage emotions, impacting on well-being. Research has uncovered important factors that may affect one’s use of emotion regulation strategies. Because passionate individuals experience positive and negative emotions while engaging in the activity that they deeply care about (Vallerand in The psychology of passion: a dualistic model, Oxford University Press, New York, 2015), it was proposed that they should be more likely to make use of emotion regulation strategies. Using the Dualistic Model of Passion (Vallerand et al. in J Personal Soc Psychol 85:756–767, 2003. https://doi.org/10.1037/0022-3514.85.4.756 ), this research tested an integrated model of passion, emotion regulated strategies, and psychological well-being. Three online studies were conducted. Study 1 (n = 370) used a cross-sectional design in order to explore the relationships between passion, emotion regulation strategies, and well-being in the context of various leisure activities. Using the same design, Study 2 (n = 253) aimed at replicating the findings from Study 1 within the specific context of romantic relationships. Finally, the goal of Study 3 (n = 253) was to replicate the findings from Studies 1 and 2 while using a prospective design. Overall, results from path analyses uncovered that HP was positively associated with cognitive reappraisal whereas OP was positively related to expressive suppression. Cognitive reappraisal was the only strategy positively linked to well-being. Findings underscore the important role of HP in the use of cognitive reappraisal, facilitating well-being.
