Abstract: Interpersonal emotion regulation is an important way of social emotion regulation. In order to clarify its relationship with positive emotions, we conducted a survey, the interpersonal emotion regulation scale, implicit and explicit positive emotion scale, expression inhibition scale, and mood regulation difficulty scale were used. Results of 1159 participants showed that:(1) interpersonal emotion regulation significantly predicts implicit and explicit positive emotions; (2) and difficulty in emotion regulation is a moderator of interpersonal emotion regulation predicting implicit positive emotions; Inhibition of expression is a mediator of interpersonal emotion regulation predicting explicit positive emotions. This indicates that the use of interpersonal emotion regulation has a beneficial tendency for positive emotion, but its effect is related to the individual's emotional characteristics.

Key words: interpersonal emotion regulation, positive emotion, expressive suppression, the difficulty in emotional regulation
