Arlie Hochschild's concept of "feeling rules" refers to societal norms and expectations that dictate which emotions are appropriate or expected in a given situation or role. These feeling rules can be influenced by factors such as culture, gender, and social class, and individuals may engage in "emotional labor" to conform to these expectations.
