| Outline of Research at the Start |
There is a lack of culturally diverse research in Psychology. Among several factors, there is a need for measurement and research tools that can be used in various cultures. The present project's goal is to create a dictionary of culturally salient emotions to be used in research.

| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objective of this research project was to develop a dictionary of emotions in three languages： Japanese, American English, and Brazilian Portuguese. Participants from the three countries (total N = 2371) rated 42 emotion words in 7 dimensions (valence, arousal, independence /interdependence, desirability, experience, and expression). This project has yielded 4 presentations at conferences: Annual convention of the Japanese Psychological Association in 2021; Annual convention of the Society for personality and Social Psychology in 2022 and 2023 (preconference and main conference. Currently a manuscript is under preparation.Data related to culturally specific emotions (awe, amae, and saudade) was also collected from the same three countries (N = 380). Analysis of this data will enrich the main study, and may yield another article for publication. Preliminary results will be presented at the 87th Annual convention of the Japanese Psychological Association in 2023.
