Abstract
U radu se opisuje kulturalni utjecaj na intenzitet, bihevioralnu ekspresiju i upravljanje emocijama. Navode se kulturalne razlike u doživljavanju, percipiranju i izražavanju emocija. U pregledu je naveden veći broj istraživanja koja uglavnom ukazuju na veću poželjnost i primjerenost ugodnih emocija u zapadnim kulturama, a na izraženu supresiju ugodnih te neugodnih emocija u istočnim kulturama. Također, navedene su neke smjernice za buduća istraživanja s obzirom na to da je riječ o istraživanjima od praktičnog značenja za kvalitetu života pojedinca.The paper describes the cultural influence onto the intensity, behavioral expression and management of emotions. The authors enumerate cultural differences in experiencing, recognizing and expressing emotions. They give an overview of a larger number of research papers that mostly state that pleasant emotions are more desirable and appropriate in Western cultures, whereas in Eastern cultures there is an emphasised suppression of pleasant and unpleasant emotions. Furthermore, the authors give some guidelines for future research since this kind of research has practical importance for the quality of life of a person
