Emotion suppression is often regarded as undesirable, if not maladaptive, strategy for emotion regulation and is associated with negative developmental outcomes. Cross-cultural studies have found that Chinese population has a tendency to suppress, regulate, or control their emotions more than other populations. However, emotion suppression is associated with less negative outcomes for Chinese. Early childhood is a critical time when children are socialized with cultural rules and values from adults. Learning how emotion suppression is socialized in kindergartens will help us understand the cultural tendency better. Our systematic review is expected to show that the existing definition of emotion suppression is too narrow to capture its regulatory aspect, which is highly culturally relevant among Chinese. |
