最近的研究表明，尴尬、羞耻和骄傲等自我意识的情绪都有独特的非语言表达，在美国可以被识别出来。然而，很少有研究调查在其他文化中对这些情绪的认识，在亚洲进行的研究也很少。因此，自我意识情绪的跨文化普遍性尚未牢固确立。此外，还没有研究考察文化差异在认识自我意识的情绪。文化价值观和对西方文化的接触被认为是导致基本情绪识别率变化的因素；我们试图用加州大学戴维斯分校的情感表达集（UCDSEE）来检验这种自我意识情绪。目前的研究调查了韩国大学生对自我意识情绪表达的认知度，发现骄傲的认知度很高，羞耻的认知度很低但高于此，而尴尬的认知度几乎为零。为了研究我们在韩国发现的认知率背后的原因，我们对欧洲裔美国人、亚裔美国人和亚洲出生的美国大学生样本进行了对自我意识情绪和几种文化价值观的识别。欧洲裔美国人和亚裔美国人的情绪识别率大致相似，而且高于亚洲出生的人的情绪识别率。这些差异不能以一种可解释的方式用文化价值观来解释，这表明接触西方文化是比价值观更重要的中介。
Recent research suggests that the self-conscious emotions of embarrassment, shame, and pride have distinct, nonverbal expressions that can be recognized in the United States at above-chance levels. However, few studies have examined the recognition of these emotions in other cultures, and little research has been conducted in Asia. Consequently the cross-cultural generalizability of self-conscious emotions has not been firmly established. Additionally, there is no research that examines cultural variability in the recognition of the self-conscious emotions. Cultural values and exposure to Western culture have been identified as contributors to variability in recognition rates for the basic emotions; we sought to examine this for the self-conscious emotions using the University of California, Davis Set of Emotion Expressions (UCDSEE). The present research examined recognition of the self-conscious emotion expressions in South Korean college students and found that recognition rates were very high for pride, low but above chance for shame, and near zero for embarrassment. To examine what might be underlying the recognition rates we found in South Korea, recognition of self-conscious emotions and several cultural values were examined in a U.S. college student sample of European Americans, Asian Americans, and Asian-born individuals. Emotion recognition rates were generally similar between the European Americans and Asian Americans, and higher than emotion recognition rates for Asian-born individuals. These differences were not explained by cultural values in an interpretable manner, suggesting that exposure to Western culture is a more important mediator than values.
