Course Description

Of the many research areas in psychology, two have seen their share of heated debates and passionate arguments over the decades, perhaps more than in other research areas; they are the areas of culture and emotion. Dr. Matsumoto has been fortunate to have spent his career studying the intersection of both these ripe areas of research.

The purpose of this APA approved continuing education course is two fold:

First, he will briefly present a biocultural model of emotion that offers three premises about emotion that can potentially help resolve past debates and move the field toward an integrated view of emotion, hopefully to push research and theory on culture and emotion in the future.

Second, he will offer his reflections about the debates and their persistence, and provide an optimistic vision of the future of these important research areas.

Learning Objectives

(1) List three premises about emotion that can potentially help resolve past debates.

(2)  Identify an area of debate in the broad area of “culture and emotion.”

(3) Describe the “biocultural model of emotion.”

Developed By
