Emotion has been debated, analyzed, and researched across disciplines. Emotions are universal
phenomena for humans, and yet culture is very much at play in the emotional world. The norms of
culture and society affect how emotions are experienced. Consequently, different cultures express,
perceive, react to, and regulate emotion in very different ways.
Consider the emotion embarrassment. Across the globe, there are physiological responses associated
with embarrassment, such as elevated body temperature and blushing, that are common to all
humans (Shiraev & Levy, 2021). The verbal and non-verbal expression of embarrassment, however,
and even the precipitating events that can cause embarrassment, differ among cultures.
For this Assignment, you will consider emotional response to an event through a cross-cultural lens.
You will be asked to consider what your own emotional response, influenced by your cultural
background, would be, as well as consider a potential emotional response from someone from a
different cultural background.
