This chapter explores the relationship between culture and the communication of emotional states during intercultural communication. There are at least six primary emotions­­­—anger, fear, surprise, sadness, disgust, and happiness—which are usually considered to be physiologically based and expressed similarly across cultures. Secondary emotions, such as pride, guilt, and shame arise culturally through participation in the sociocultural environment and tend to vary based on age, gender, and culture. Intercultural communication examines the situation in which a message is encoded in one culture for consumption in another culture. The correct interpretation of verbal and nonverbal messages encoded in another culture is largely dependent upon one's proficiency in social perception and experience in intercultural communication. The chapter discusses several significant cultural dynamics that affect the display of emotion and ultimately intercultural communication. These diverse aspects of culture are (1) display rules, (2) antecedent events, (3) individual-collectivism and power distance, (4) context, (5) nonverbal communication, and (6) language

The present survey investigated the communication activities of a general adult population. Particular attention was given to speaking and listening activities. The study includes a broad spectrum of occupations. Questionnaires containing a communication log were mailed to four hundred randomly selected adults in the San Diego area. (One hundred and seventy-three logs were returned.) The logs, divided into fifteen minute segments, contained the following categories: sleep, no communication, conversation, television, reading, listening, speaking. Brief definitions for each of these categories were contained in a cover letter. Results, in general, indicated: 1) that administrators, salesmen, students, teachers and professionals rank as high communicators; 2) approximately three-fourths (72.8%) of our waking time is given over to communication activities.

In this chapter, our primary concern is to explore the relationship between culture and the communication of emotional states during intercultural communication. Specifically, we address both the degree to which emotional display and recognition are universal attributes of humankind and the extent to which such display and recognition are mediated by culture. Before we turn to the concerns of emotions in intercultural communication, however, we begin with a brief look at the nature of emotions.

Likewise, because of possible stigma, people might not want others to notice their interactions with TUIs addressing mental health problems [64,164]. ...
