Summary

This chapter reviews psychological studies of emotion in the broad area of cultural psychology. It presents an analysis of indigenous emotional state prevalent among Koreans as an exemplar of illustrating cultural psychological analysis of emotion. The chapter discusses the indigenous analysis in broader context and the implications it has for psychological research in general. The research tradition that followed the universalist paradigm tried to describe commonalities and differences in emotional experience among different cultures. Psychologists in the field of cultural psychology all seem to agree on this constitutive view of culture and emotion. In order to clarify the cultural emotion of shimcheong, the chapter examines several concepts having similar features to it from existing literature. More important task for cultural psychology of emotion is to show how emotion is lived through for individual members to manage their individuality as well as collectivity.
