AB - Within- andbetween-nations differences in norms for experiencing emotions were analyzed in across-cultural study with 1,846 respondents from 2 individualistic (United States,Australia) and 2 collectivistic (China, Taiwan) countries. A multigroup latent classanalysis revealed that there were both universal and culture-specific types of norms forexperiencing emotions. Moreover, strong intranational variability in norms for affectcould be detected, particularly for collectivistic nations. Unexpectedly, individualisticnations were most uniform in norms, particularly with regard to pleasant affect.Individualistic and collectivistic nations differed most strongly in norms forself-reflective emotions (e.g., pride and guilt). Norms for emotions were related toemotional experiences within nations. Furthermore, there were strong national differencesin reported emotional experiences, even when norms were held constant.
