cultural emotions

Cultural emotions are the feelings and emotional responses that are shaped by the shared beliefs, values, and norms of a particular society or group. They influence how people experience, express, and interpret emotions in social contexts. For example, a culture might prioritize displaying respect through restraint, leading to different emotional expressions than a culture that encourages open expressions of joy. These emotions are learned over time through socialization and help reinforce cultural identity and cohesion. In essence, cultural emotions are the ways in which shared cultural influences mold our emotional lives and interactions.
