TL;DR: The authors examine the role of emotions in intercultural communication, and suggest that the ability to regulate emotion is one of the keys to effective inter-cultural communication and adjustment, and argue that emotion regulation is a gatekeeper ability that allows people to engage in successful conflict resolution that leads to effective, long-term inter-culture communication.

TL;DR: In this paper, a framework of how faces and contexts combine and describe possible meanings of consistent and inconsistent face-context pairings is provided. But the authors also discuss methodological caveats that should be considered in the conduct of such judgment studies, and argue that future research in this area will benefit not from more studies of different combinations of stimuli created merely because we have the technological ability to create them, but instead from careful consideration of the ecological validity of the various types of combinations that can be produced and their meaning.

TL;DR: This paper found that Japanese and South Korean observers were more influenced by context than Americans, and these differences were mediated by personality traits, and they provided a more nuanced view of how both culture and emotion moderate judgments of faces in context.

TL;DR: This article found that the ingroup advantage in emotion recognition occurs when posers mime an expression, but not when they spontaneously produce it in real life, suggesting that it occurs only when the poser mimes an expression.

TL;DR: The authors introduced the concept of status differentiation along with a description of the development and initial validation of an individual-difference measure called the status differentiation scale (SDS), followed by reports of cross-cultural differences on the SDS in three countries.
