Welcome to the Emotion and Culture Lab!

We focus on the fascinating intersection of emotion science and cross-cultural psychology. We delve into how individuals express and perceive emotions through various channels, including bodily signals such as facial expressions, vocalizations, and body movements, as well as artistic forms like music, film, and painting. Furthermore, we investigate how cultural backgrounds—particularly those of East Asian and North American/Western European cultures—influence these emotional communication processes.

If you’re passionate about understanding how emotion and culture intertwine across various forms of expression, we invite you to join us!
