The study compared how people from India and the United States feel and react to sadness, fear, and anger. Both cultures felt powerless in situations causing sadness and fear, and blamed others for events causing anger. Indians were less upset because they saw events as closer to what they wanted compared to Americans. Cultural differences in how events are seen explain why people from different cultures feel emotions differently.
