How does culture influence emotion?

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information:

There are similarities and differences between how different cultures express emotion. All cultures form facial expressions and recognize them as the expression of emotion. There are, however, differences in the ways that different cultures label emotions and express emotion. Different emotions may be expressed differently due to varying cultural expectations. For example, a more reserved Japanese person might express anger differently than an American might.

Explain the positive and negative effects of catharsis.

Catharsis is an emotional release intended to relieve aggressive urges. Venting, or releasing one's emotion, may be useful in temporarily decreasing anger; however, research about the lasting effects of catharsis finds that it doesn't necessarily lead to adaptive or healthy ways of dealing with anger. Venting may temporarily relieve some emotions but it can lead to maladaptive ways of dealing with anger, such as through physical or violent behavior. Allowing oneself to engage in catharsis freely may also reinforce the tendency to lash out toward others without dealing with issues in a positive manner.
