In this study, participants (162 students) responded to a questionnaire in order to examine how people infer the motive, and evaluate the relationship to individuals who restrain emotional expression. Results indicated that the interpersonal effects of the restraint of positive emotional expression were greatly influenced by the receiver’s emotional state. On the other hand, the restraint of negative emotional expression caused the inference of the prosocial motive and the formation of the favorable impression when the receiver’s emotional state was positive. However, without any relation to the receiver’s emotional state, the restraint of negative emotional expression was likely to be considered “not lively”, which caused the negative evaluation of the relationship.
