For a very long time, Psychologists have tried to determine the emotion differences between Genders and cultures. A person can recognize an emotion from facial expression. The argument is that whether a person knows what emotions are as a baby or by observing it as they grow up. I believe that a person is born with these emotions for example when a baby is upset he cries because he knows that's the way to express his feelings or laugh to show that he is happy.
Women are stereotypically more emotional and men are stereotypically angrier. In two studies by Kring, women were found to be more facially expressive than men when it came to both positive and negative emotions. These researchers concluded that men and women experience the same amount of emotion, but that women are more likely to express their emotions. An American Psychological Association article says that, “boys are generally expected to suppress emotions and to express anger through violence, rather than constructively.A child development researcher at Harvard University argues that boys are taught to shut down their feelings, such as empathy, sympathy.
Another difference between gender is facial expression. Woman generally smile more when happy,or cry when sad. Whatever they feel is expressed in their face unlike men. Society somewhat restricts men from expressing their emotion so much so that they automatically shut off any expression of feelings.
Emotions are a universal thing. It is recognized in every culture but is not necessarily the same. The way a person expresses their feelings or emotions is due to how they were raised and taught to deal with them. In some countries it is ok for some men to cry or express their emotions freely while in other countries it is 'frowned upon'. For example, In Europe men greet each other by hugs and hugs whereas men in America would be offended by that or would feel awkward.
