一个综合的解释提出，文化和性别相互作用，产生根本不同的模式之间的积极和消极的情绪。在以独立为基础的文化（如美国）中，人们以对立（即两极）的方式体验情感，而在以相互依赖为基础的文化（如中国）中，人们以辩证的方式体验情感。在这两种文化中，这些模式对女性来说比男性更强。为了支持这一理论，研究1表明，美国女性的积极情绪和消极情绪呈强负相关，而美国男性的积极情绪和消极情绪呈弱负相关，但中国女性的积极情绪和消极情绪呈强正相关，而中国男性的积极情绪和消极情绪呈弱正相关。在第二项研究中，韩国人的调查结果虽然好坏参半，但与中国人的结果更接近。
An integrative explanation proposes that culture and gender interact to produce fundamentally different patterns of association between positive and negative emotions. People in independent-based cultures (e.g. the United States) experience emotions in oppositional (i.e. bipolar) ways, whereas people in interdependent-based cultures (e.g. China) experience emotions in dialectic ways. These patterns are stronger for women than men in both cultures. In support of the theory, Study 1 showed that positive and negative emotions are strongly correlated inversely for American women and weakly correlated inversely for American men, but strongly correlated positively for Chinese women and weakly correlated positively for Chinese men. In Study 2, findings for Koreans, although mixed, were closer to the results for Chinese.
