This mind-opening take on indigenous psychology presents a
multi-level analysis of culture to frame the differences between
Chinese and Western cognitive and emotive styles. Eastern and
Western cultures are seen here as mirror images in terms of
rationality, relational thinking, and symmetry or harmony. Examples
from the philosophical texts of Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, and
classical poetry illustrate constructs of shading and nuancing
emotions in contrast to discrete emotions and emotion regulation
commonly associated with traditional psychology. The resulting text
offers readers bold new understandings of emotion-based states both
familiar (intimacy, solitude) and unfamiliar (resonance, being
spoiled rotten), as well as larger concepts of freedom, creativity,
and love. Included among the topics: The mirror universes of East
and West. In the crucible of Confucianism. Freedom and emotion:
Daoist recipes for authenticity and creativity. Chinese creativity,
with special focus on solitude and its seekers. Savoring, from
aesthetics to the everyday. What is an emotion? Answers from a wild
garden of knowledge. Understanding Emotion in Chinese Culture has a
wealth of research and study potential for undergraduate and
graduate courses in affective science, cognitive psychology,
cultural and cross- cultural psychology, indigenous psychology,
multicultural studies, Asian psychology, theoretical and
philosophical psychology, anthropology, sociology, international
psychology, and regional studies.
