Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cross-cultural research has shown that the situations in which adults encourage various self-conscious emotions can vary from culture to culture. For example, in some cultures, parents may encourage their children to express shame to show respect for authority, while in other cultures, parents may discourage expressing shame because it could harm the child's self-esteem.

Answer: B 
 In collectivist cultures, the emphasis is on group goals rather than individual achievement, so children are typically taught to feel pride over achievement that benefits the group, such as helping others or working hard for the family.

Answer: C 
 Expressions of basic emotions, such as happiness and anger, can vary widely from culture to culture, but expressions of self-conscious emotions such as shame, guilt, pride, and embarrassment are generally recognized and expressed similarly across cultures.

Answer: D 
 In individualistic cultures, the emphasis is on individual achievement and standing out from others, so children are typically taught to feel pride over personal achievement. Embarrassment may be felt if personal achievement is seen as showing off or drawing too much attention to oneself.
