• Abstract: The loss of a loved one often triggers severe grief reactions, and some people may develop prolonged grief disorder. Previous studies have found that emotional expression plays a significant role in bereavement grief, reducing pain, enhancing emotional connections, promoting psychological adaptation, and being closely related to mental health. Patients with prolonged grief disorder have deficiencies in emotional expression, and the emotional expression and social adaptation of different groups after bereavement vary. Cross-cultural studies have shown that cultural beliefs and funeral customs significantly influence grief expression. Although research has made progress and revealed the important role of emotional expression, there are still problems such as the unclear mechanism of specific forms of emotional expression, insufficient research on non-Western cultures, lack of research on special populations, insufficient capture of the dynamic changes of emotional expression in real life, insufficient exploration of cultural psychological mechanisms, and unclear relationships with mental health. Future research should strengthen cross-cultural studies, expand samples of special populations, and clarify the relationship with mental health to provide better methods and basis for grief intervention. 丧失所爱之人常引发严重哀伤反应，部分人会发展成延长哀伤障碍。过去的研究发现，情感表达在丧亲哀伤中作用重大，能减轻痛苦、增强情感联系、促进心理适应，且与心理健康密切相关，延长哀伤患者存在情感表达缺陷，不同群体的丧亲后情感表达与社交适应表现各异。跨文化研究表明，文化信仰和丧葬习俗显著影响哀伤表达。研究虽取得进展，揭示了情感表达的重要作用，但仍存在情感表达具体形式的作用机制不明确、非西方文化研究不足、特殊人群研究欠缺、对真实生活中情感表达动态变化捕捉不足、文化心理机制探讨不够、与心理健康关系未厘清等问题。未来研究应加强跨文化研究、扩大特殊人群样本、厘清与心理健康的关系，为哀伤干预提供更好的方法和依据。
