研究人员在西苏门答腊的米南卡堡（Minangkabau）进行了生理和情感体验方面的研究。米南卡堡是一个母系的穆斯林农业文化，对公开展示负面情绪有着强烈的反对。46名米南卡堡男性被要求将面部肌肉收缩成5种情绪的原型配置。与来自美国的一组62名学生相比，发现跨文化差异存在于（a）自主神经系统（ANS）情感之间的差异和（B）与ANS分化增加和情感体验报告增加相关的高配置质量。这些发现提供了第一个证据，表明这些情绪特异性ANS活动的模式和自愿面部动作产生这种活动的能力并不是美国文化所独有的。
Physiology and emotional experience were studied in the Minangkabau of West Sumatra, a matrilineal, Moslem, agrarian culture with strong proscriptions against public displays of negative emotion. Forty-six Minangkabau men were instructed to contract facial muscles into prototypical configurations of 5 emotions. In comparison with a group of 62 Ss from the United States, cross-cultural consistencies were found in (a) autonomic nervous system (ANS) differences between emotions and (b) high configuration quality being associated with increased ANS differentiation and increased report of emotional experience. These findings provide the first evidence that these patterns of emotion-specific ANS activity and the capacity of voluntary facial action to generate this activity are not unique to American culture.
