Literature review of psychological research on the processes and functions of social-sharing emotions

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Social-sharing of emotions (SSE) refers to a form of self-disclosure that focuses on emotional experiences, which is generally regarded as being a simple process of emotional release.However, both empirical and theoretical research undermines that view.Growing research points to its functions not only at the intrapersonal level but also at interpersonal and social levels that foster social integration.Despite its simple structure and its role in social integration, SSE has rarely been used as an intervention.Accordingly, the present review presents an overview of prior research that has investigated the effects of SSE.Finally, we discuss some future prospects for research on SSE.
