Relative emotinal response

“To examine the relative influence of cultural and temperamental factors on emotional response, we compared the emotional behavior, reports of emotional experience, and autonomic responses of 50 European American (EA) and 48 Chinese American (CA) … EA couples showed more positive and less negative emotional behavior than did CA couples … these findings suggest that the relative influence of cultural and temperamental factors on emotion varies by response component.” ‘Cultural and Temperamental Variation in Emotional Response.’ Tsai, Jeanne L.; Levenson, Robert W.; McCoy, Kimberly.
