Example:
(1) For clothing, my favorite color is white. I feel like I am a princess. My
friend Haris likes wearing black. He feels most confident in it.
(2) I do not really like wearing red clothes with my white because that
makes me feel like I am national flag. Haris do not dislike any color.
He loves black but he feels okay wearing any colors.

food
3.try new food from different
culture
4.addicted to certain food
5.eat junk/unhealthy food
What research says about foods & feelings*
Previous research has found that emotions affect
eating, and that negative moods and positive moods
may actually lead to preferences for different kinds of
foods. For example, if given the choice between grapes
or chocolate candies, someone in a good mood may
choose the former while someone in a bad mood may
choose the latter. This results of research are
reasonably consistent − people in a negative frame of
mind are more likely to choose sugary, fatty or salty
foods rather than nutritious ones.

Do you think people from different cultures
will have different feelings?

Research on cultures & feelings*
• People’s physiological responses
to emotional events are similar
across cultures, but culture
influences people’s facial
expressive behaviour
• People feel good during positive

events, but culture influences
whether people feel bad during
positive events
* Research by Jeanne Tsai, a 2009 study in Standford University,
http://nobaproject.com/authors/jeanne-tsai
Which culture does this come from?
Compare it to other culture(s) that you know.
1. Showing sadness: In some traditional weddings, some
people are expected not to show too much cheers.
Sometimes a singer will sing a sad song and it is considered
impolite if the bride and her family do not cry along.
2. Settling anger: When two families cannot resolve a very

complicated conflicts in any ways, they will send a family
member to do duel in a sarong. Whatever results are from
the duel, the conflict is considered settled in a fair way and
no one will keep any disappointments forever. Usually the
results are tie – they both die or survive.

Read aloud*: Expressing emotion in other
cultures
“You can’t bring that to the table here,” he said. My friend
wasn’t talking about forbidden fruit. He was pointing out
my tendency to visibly (and sometimes audibly) show
negative emotions publicly. My habits are taboo in a
country where negativity is disliked and emotional
expression of the depressing variety is kept to a minimum.
I am in Thailand – the Land of Smiles.
Negativity – particularly anger – is not openly expressed or
even discussed in many Asian cultures. In Thailand,
complaints about weather, discomfort, or anxiety can be
considered rude. You are to keep such complaints to
yourself. If you are tired, go to sleep. Otherwise, it is polite
to mention it in a joking, laughing manner.
Try to practice sentence stress while reading
For many Americans, feelings of depression and upset
are hardly censored. Of course these feelings are
present in the life of any human being. Yet for many
Americans it is incredibly normal and natural to express
them in hyperbolic, dramatized ways.
In Thailand, you will be smiled at by a nurse while you
are standing in the hospital waiting room in misery. A
smile is the standard expression for every emotion, yet it
is not very difficult to detect the real, underlying
emotion of the smile. There is the “thanks for stepping
on my shoes” smile, the smile hiding a very repressed
anger, the pride smile, the smile of the superior, the
sexy smile, the embarrassed smile and of course, the
smile of genuine kindness and care.
