Emotions in Cross-Cultural Psychology: A Curated Literature Overview

This book presents a Curated Literature Overview of emotion research in cross-cultural psychology based on machine-generated auto-summaries of articles published in Springer Nature journals. The auto-summaries have been generated by a recursive clustering algorithm via the Dimensions Auto-summarizer by Digital Science handled by Subject Matter Experts and the editors of this book. The editors of this book selected which SN content should be auto-summarized and decided its order of appearance. Please be aware that these are abstractive auto-summaries, which consist of original sentences, but are not representative of its original paper, since we do not show the full length of the publication. Please note that only published SN content is represented here, and that curated books are still at an experimental stage. Papers summarized in this book discuss cultural similarities and differences in various aspects of emotions - from emotional expression to emotional recognition and emotion regulation. Emotion research from the perspective of cross-cultural psychology provides readers with a more nuanced view: it is not only about the difference between individualism and collectivism, but also about how the broad context influences many psychological processes in between, which in turn guide emotional processing and response. The automatically generated literature summaries are intended to provide researchers, students and professionals in the field of psychology with a quick overview of current developments in the topic. They should also be useful as a stimulus and impulse for current research questions, for new strategies and for possible solutions in difficult situations.
