Believe, express, and enjoy: utility beliefs about social emotion expression consistently predict satisfactory outcomes.

Despite some models showing marginal significance, we proceeded to decompose the interaction term and found the same results: When participants expressed their embarrassment, their utility beliefs positively predicted their event satisfaction, 0.22 ≤ βs ≤ 0.33, .003 ≤ p s ≤ .043; when they suppressed their embarrassment, their beliefs were not associated with their event satisfaction, − 0.03 ≤ βs ≤ 0.03, .713 ≤ p s ≤ .942.

Entering control variables in the regression models reduced the effect size of the interaction term, rendering it marginally significant, 0.12 ≤ β ≤ 0.15, 0.035 ≤ p s ≤ 0.080.
