    The passage discusses different perspectives on the universality of emotions across cultures as well as research comparing emotional expression and experience in North America and East Asia. It also touches on the importance of understanding both similarities and differences in emotion between cultures.

    The two main perspectives discussed are universalism, which posits that all cultures share common primordial emotions, and constructivism, which argues that emotions have evolved differently in cultures that have adapted to different environments. Cultural ideas and practices are also seen as influential from the constructivist view.

    Some research findings discussed include differences in smiling behavior, levels of arousal preferred in activities and emotions, and associations between suppression and depression. Similarities discussed include physiological responses to emotions and prioritization of relationships and self-esteem.
