Display rules

Display rules are cultural guidelines that influence how people show or express their emotions in social settings. These rules determine when, where, and how emotions should be expressed, suppressed, or amplified to meet societal expectations. For example, some cultures encourage openly showing emotions like happiness or anger, while others value emotional restraint and composure. Display rules help maintain social harmony by aligning emotional expressions with cultural norms, ensuring interactions are appropriate and respectful within a given community.
