Citations in the corpus

• Victims’ experiences in the criminal justice system and their recovery from crime (2013, background): “There is evidence that things that make victims feel good do not necessarily reduce trauma (McNally et al., 2003; Zech and Rimé, 2005).”
• Motives for the social sharing of an emotional experience (2015, background): “Venting, the most frequently observed motive in these data, is consistent with the common belief that discussing an emotional experience will reduce or even eliminate its emotional load (Nils & Rimé, 2012; Rimé, 2009; Zech & Rimé, 2005).”
• Emotion Elicits the Social Sharing of Emotion: Theory and Empirical Review (2009, background): “Experiments involving such variations in sharing were thus conducted with emotional recovery as a dependent variable (Zech, 2000; Zech & Rimé, 2005).”
• The Social Sharing of Emotion as an Interface Between Individual and Collective Processes in the Construction of Emotional Climates (2007, result): “They also fit with findings from experimental studies showing that even though sharing emotions was not conducive to emotional recovery, participants in sharing sessions reported a good number of positive benefits from such sessions (Zech & Rimé, 2005).”
