Abstract Details

2011, Bachelor of Arts, Miami University, College of Arts and Sciences - Psychology.
Although some aspects of emotional expression are universal, considerable variation exists across cultures in the ways in which emotions are expressed (Cole, Brushi, Tamang, 2002). The present study seeks to discover cross-cultural differences and similarities in emotion expression among Indian and United States college students. A total of 268 participants (United States: n=160 and India: n=108) completed a self-report measure depicting hypothetical vignettes and a series of questions assessing likely emotions elicited, expressiveness, rationale for expression and control, and method of expression. Results showed variation in the emotions reported in response to some of the vignettes, with Indian participants reporting more other-focused emotions. US participants more commonly reported direct communication of the emotion, while Indian participants more frequently reported direct or discreet communication of the situation that caused the emotion.
