Emotion and Culture Empirical Studies of Mutual Influence

Examines the increasing evidence that emotions are not discrete, "hardwired" biological events but are influenced and shaped through social, cultural, and linguistic processes. By integrating a diversity of scientific approaches, Emotion and Culture goes a long way toward showing that culture penetrates deeply into virtually every component process of emotion: cognitive, linguistic, and even physiological and neurochemical elements.Contributions from researchers in a wide range of scientific fields make this book an important touchstone of theory and research for the premise that emotion and culture are mutually and reciprocally related.Kitayama, Shinobu is the author of 'Emotion and Culture Empirical Studies of Mutual Influence' with ISBN 9781557984876 and ISBN 1557984875.
