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.Â
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. Â
