Abstract
Thirty American subjects accurately identified emotions from 96 situations which American and Malay informants stated to be antecedent to specific emotions. These results are considered in terms of the proposition that the underlying meanings of antecedent events are the stimuli for the experience of emotion, and that these meanings can be inferred across cultural boundaries.Keywords
