What is Emotional Development Across Cultures about?

The biological characteristics of human infants set up a developmental trajectory toward forming emotional attachments with caregivers. The caregiver–infant system sets the stage for later development and learning through these early interactions in a bidirectional manner. This system is common across cultures and social contexts, and therefore we see similar emotion recognition, production, and communication across diverse contexts in the first few years of life. Yet, differences emerge in how caregivers respond to infants and shape their expressions. This can be seen in cultural display rules—that is, the expression of emotion based on social norms. The authors argue that emotions ground communication, specifically through a process of mutually shared enjoyment (species-specific), and also develop in complexity as children learn words to describe and then reflect on emotional experience. This chapter provides an overview of emotion development drawing on cross-cultural research.
