Nepali Children's Ideas about Emotional Displays in Hypothetical Challenges.

Cole, Pamela M.; Tamang, Babu Lal

Developmental Psychology, v34 n4 p640-46 Jul 1998

Investigated ideas of 50 first-grade children from two different Nepali cultures (Tamang and Chhetri-Brahmin) regarding how they would feel and act in six emotionally challenging situations. Found significant cultural differences. Chhetri-Brahmin children were more likely to endorse negative emotions and to report masking negative emotion. These differences appeared to be related to socialization processes in the respective cultures. (Author/EV)
