It was challenging because the photos show different facial expressions
(or the kinds of expressions that they have are different from mine/in
my culture)

It was challenging because the faces of the people are

white/black/Asian American – most of which are not faces I see around

Based on what you’ve learned, what is a reason for this?

Some found it easy; for some it was difficult.

If you recall the test, it was composed of photographs of people

showing an emotion, white background.

Do you think it would be easier to recognize the emotion expression if it

had context?

Cultural context - stimuli, environment, or ambiance surrounding an event (Edward Hall)

Low-context cultures (such as those in North America and Western Europe) depend less on
the environment of a situation to convey meaning than do high-context cultures (such as
those in Japan, China, and Arab countries).

For example: high-context cultures would pay attention to interpersonal relationships, physical
settings, social settings, nonverbals

Low context cultures would just “say what they mean to say” and believe that listeners need to
be told everything
