1. EMOTION: DISPLAY RULES, SELF-PRESENTATION AND CULTURE
When and how do children come to understand the complex world of emotion?
Understanding emotion has cognitive requirements – understanding that other people may feel differently from us, and that people’s faces might show a different emotion

to the feelings they have inside but is also inextricably linked with the societies in which we grow up. Society and culture interact with cognitive development in

affecting what emotions we display and how we display them. Display rules guide us in what emotions are acceptable in a given situation and how they might be

expressed: if someone gives us a present we don’t want, we may still try to look pleased. When do children understand that it is possible to hide their true feelings?

To what extent do children try to present themselves in a particular way, and how does this develop? How do gender and cultural differences in patterns of social

relationships influence concern for the evaluation of others? How do cross-cultural studies help us understand the development of emotion understanding? And in terms

of broader theory, is culture a fundamental engine of development or just the icing on the developmental cake?
