Can you come up with a list of words
for different emotions? Do you believe other cultures have more or less
emotional vocabulary than yours? Is emotional vocabulary organized in the same
way across cultures? What methods would you use to test these hypotheses?

Take a moment and imagine you are
traveling in a country you have never been to before. Everything—the sights,
the smells, the sounds—seems strange. People are speaking a language you do not
understand and wearing clothes unlike yours. However, they greet you with a
smile, and you sense that, despite the differences you see, deep down inside,
these people have the same feelings as you. However, is this true? Do
people from opposite ends of the world really feel the same emotions? While
most scholars agree that members of different cultures may vary in the foods
they eat, the languages they speak, and the holidays they celebrate, there is
disagreement about the extent to which culture shapes people’s emotions and
feelings—including what people feel, what they express, and what they do during
an emotional event. Understanding how culture shapes people’s emotional lives
and the impact emotion has on psychological health and well-being in diverse
cultures will advance the study of human behavior and benefit multicultural
societies. Across a variety of settings—academic, business, medical—people
worldwide are coming into more contact with people from foreign cultures. To
communicate and function effectively in such situations, we must understand the
ways cultural ideas and practices shape our emotions. To fully
understand the concept of emotional vocabulary, follow these steps:

1. Watch “Culture and Emotion.” 

   (331) trbq.org presents culture and emotion, a brief introduction – YouTube

2. Watch “Experts in Emotion.” 

   (331) Experts in Emotion 5.1 — Jeanne Tsai on Culture and Emotion – YouTube

3. Read “Emotional Intelligence: How We
   Perceive, Evaluate, Express, and Control Emotions.”
4. Read “List of Feeling Words from A
   to Z.”

In 250 words or more, what
cultural ideas and practices related to emotion were you exposed to when you
were a child? What cultural ideas and practices related to emotion are you
currently exposed to as an adult? How do you think they shape your emotional
experiences and expressions?
