Do emotions vary across cultures? Support your answer with the results of a research study.
On Jun 20, 2024
Do people in different cultures have different emotional lives? For many years experts assumed that the answer was "yes." They thought that cultural differences would lead to huge differences in inner lives so that you could not begin to understand how someone from another culture might feel. This view has lost ground, however, and some experts now agree that most emotions may be quite similar across cultural boundaries.
Paul Ekman and his colleagues have identified six basic emotions that can be reliably inferred from facial expressions: anger, surprise, disgust, happiness (or joy), fear, and sadness. Their research group showed photographs to people all over the world, and regardless of cultural differences, people interpreted the same facial expression as indicating the same inner emotion. A meta-analysis showed that people living in 37 countries on five continents inferred the same basic emotions from photos of facial expressions. These findings suggest that, based on facial cues, people have similar emotions everywhere and can recognize and understand one another despite their very different cultural backgrounds.
