Chinese are more likely to somatize (express as symptoms of the body) episodes of depression.

Emotional moderation promotes individual health and interpersonal harmony than members of Western cultures.

Moderation in facial expression

Children are socialized to control their impulses. A lack of emotional moderation is believed to have dire consequences both for the individual and for the social group.

Inability to moderate and control one's emotions is considered debilitating to one's mental and physical health.

To the Chinese, being mentally healthy implies the control of the emotions, the cultivation of the mind, and the moderation of behavior. The mentally healthy person is one who does not get into explosive fits of anger, get excessively happy, or become easily irritated.

Harmonious group relations

Managers are more emotionally reserved, avoided conflict more than British managers.

More collectivistic or more oriented toward the group.

Western cultures are individualistic. Value individuality, the signifigance of personal and emotional expression

Chinese place more importance on the community as a collective, emphasize interpersonal harmony.

Cultural differences in the way mothers narrate and discuss past events with children.
