Analysis

Social Psychology –
 

Your textbook discusses how different cultures view emotions (for instance, tongue biting is an expression of embarrassment in India, but not in the United States), Think of and describe additional examples from your own life. Think about times that you have traveled to different regions in the United States or to different countries. Try to think of the ways that emotions were expressed differently in different cultures. You might also think about the different groups that you belong to (essentially different mini-cultures), and if there is a unique way of expressing a particular emotion in one of these groups (for example, within your family, within your friend group, within your work environment, etc.) such that non-group members would not know how to interpret the expression.
