Resumen
MOSCOSO, Manolete S y SPIELBERGER, Charles D. Cross-cultural assessment of emotions: The expression of anger. Revista de Psicología [online]. 2011, vol.29, n.2, pp.343-360. ISSN 0254-9247.
The purpose of this article is to focus on unique issues that are encountered in the crosscultural adaptation of measures of emotions. We take into consideration the cross-cultural equivalence of the concept of emotion, and how cultural differences influence the meaning of words that are utilized to describe these concepts. The critical need to take the state-trait distinction into account in adapting measures of emotional states and personality traits is then discussed. The effects of language and culture in adapting measures of the experience, expression, and control of anger in Latin-America are also reviewed. The construction of the Latin American Multicultural State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory is described.
