  <dc:description xmlns:ns0="xml" ns0:lang="en">The aim of this study was to investigate daily positive humor in couples as  an interpersonal emotion  regulation strategy. Associated changes in psychological intimacy were  tested as a possible socio- affective pathway of emotion regulation that mediates the effects of couple  humor on changes in  individual momentary affect. Within a dyadic ambulatory assessment  framework, 102 couples reported  on their production of positive humor as an attempt to regulate their partner’s  mood, psychological  intimacy, and momentary affect four times a day for 1 week. An actor– partner interdependence  mediation model revealed actor and partner effects of humor on changes in  daily affect. Furthermore,  the indirect effect of own humor via changes in the partner’s feelings of  psychological intimacy (socio- affective pathway) on the partner’s affect was significant. Results support  the assumption that daily  positive humor experienced with one’s romantic partner serves as an  interpersonal emotion regulation  strategy in daily life as reflected in direct effects on one’s own and one’s  partner’s momentary affect. The  partner’s changes in affect were partially mediated by changes in their  feelings of psychological  intimacy. This speaks in favor of an indirect socio-affective mechanism of  interpersonal emotion  regulation associated with positive humor expressed toward the partner.</dc:description>
