Notes:
OURS emotions — emotions as relational acts between people.Emotions were closer to relational acts than to mental states.
The members of a rural Chinese community affirmed their caring relationships by working. Work, and the suffering that is intrinsic to hard work, both symbolize love and affirm the relationship with another person.
American caregiving practices facilitate looking inward to the MINE emotions, and Chinese lead the attention outwards towards OURS emotions.
Social sharing helps to focus the emotion either inwards to MINE aspects of emotions, or outwards to OURS.
In many cultures, people consider their emotions to be “negotiated” with the social environment, rather than leading a separate life inside them.
Emotions are social practices, shared to a large extent with other people.
