本文重点介绍了一个理论帐户整合的经典和最近的研究结果，跨文化的情绪沟通：方言理论的情绪。方言理论使用语言隐喻来论证情感是一种具有微妙差异的方言的通用语言。就像口头语言一样，理解一个说着不同方言的人更具有挑战性这与群体内优势的经验支持相吻合，即个体更准确地判断来自自己文化群体的情感表达，而不是来自外国群体。方言理论引发了争议，它对情绪跨文化差异的主流理论的影响。本文回顾了这一理论，其不断增加的证据，其他帐户的证据，以及对多元文化社会的实际影响。
This article focuses on a theoretical account integrating classic and recent findings on the communication of emotions across cultures: a dialect theory of emotion. Dialect theory uses a linguistic metaphor to argue emotion is a universal language with subtly different dialects. As in verbal language, it is more challenging to understand someone speaking a different dialect-which fits with empirical support for an in-group advantage, whereby individuals are more accurate judging emotional expressions from their own cultural group versus foreign groups. Dialect theory has sparked controversy with its implications for dominant theories about cross-cultural differences in emotion. This article reviews the theory, its mounting body of evidence, evidence for alternative accounts, and practical implications for multicultural societies.
