Abstract: We explored how mindfulness and interpersonal reappraisal interact to predict affect using experience sampling methods. Interpersonal reappraisal predicted decreases in negative affect and increases in positive affect only during moments when individuals were less mindful. People may need the most support in managing their emotions when they are less mindful.
