先前的研究发现，检查情感识别准确性和霍夫施泰德的文化维度之间的预测关系的结果为零。先前的理论是“静态的”，将文化概况与情感识别准确性的绝对水平联系起来。相比之下，“距离”理论将文化差异与摆姿势的群体成员与识别表情的群体成员在识别准确性方面的差异联系起来，称为群体内优势。重新分析四项大规模研究的数据，并将研究结果汇总以获得更高的精度，我们发现静态假设没有得到支持。值得注意的是，不同情绪之间没有模式差异，这是专注于解码规则的静态理论的核心预测。然而，分析吝啬地支持距离的观点。这些发现为情感交流中的文化差异提供了更多的证据。
Previous research found null results examining predicted relationships between emotion recognition accuracy and Hofstede's cultural dimensions. Prior theory was "static," linking cultural profiles with absolute levels of emotion recognition accuracy. By contrast, a "distance" theory links cultural differences with the discrepancy in recognition accuracy achieved by members of the group posing versus the group recognizing the expressions, known as the in-group advantage. Reanalyzing data from four large-scale studies, and pooling results across studies for greater precision, we find no support for static hypotheses. Notably, no patterns differ across emotions, a central prediction by static theories focusing on decoding rules. However, analyses parsimoniously support the distance perspective. These findings add to expanding evidence for cultural differences in emotional communication.
