Summary
Classic studies by Ekman and Izard provided early evidence for the cross-cultural universality of emotion recognition, through a set of studies that were later examined from the perspective of the cultural differences they also reveal. The body of evidence as a whole supports a middle ground, suggesting that both emotional expression and its perception show basic similarities across cultures and yet meaningful differences as well. We discuss both spontaneous and motivated processes in both emotional expression and recognition. Further, this chapter attempts to review this material in terms of Brunswik’s lens model, which emphasizes the creation of observable cues and their interpretation by others. We also discuss cultural differences that can arise at multiple stages of the emotion process beyond emotional expression and recognition. Namely, individuals across groups can respond differently to nonverbal cues of emotion, which involves differences in the subjective interpretation of events via cognitive appraisal, differences in internal experience, and differences in emotion regulation. These, in turn, can influence accuracy in judging emotion cues across cultures.
