Outline of Final Research Achievements

Does the emotional word used by each researcher really mean the same content? For example, is "happy" "happiness" or "joy", or others? In addition, is "fear" used in the same situation in Japan, the West, or in other countries? Will the researchers both domestically and internationally actually apply the same emotional words to the same situation?
I investigated it how the emotional word was used under such critical mind and was intended that I investigated a route of the unification of the language of feelings, but, by circumstances of the diversity, did not come to take the correspondence with English.
