“…Marsella (1981) reviewed various studies and concluded that there is no word for depression among many non-Western cultural groups. Collaboration comes from observations of the Yoruba of Nigeria (Leighton et al, 1963), from various North American Indian languages (Termansen & Ryan, 1970), from Malay (Resner & Hartog, 1970), from Chinese (Chan, 1990; Tseng & Hsu, 1969), from Eskimo (Leff, 1973), from Fulani in Africa (Riesman, 1977, p. 156), from the Kaluli of Papua New Guinea (Schieffelin, 1985), and from the Xhosa of Southern Africa (Cheetham & Cheetham, 1976).…”

Some writers assume--and others deny--that all human beings distinguish emotions from nonemotions and divide the emotions into happiness, anger, fear, and so on. A review of ethnographic and cross-cultural studies on (a) emotion lexicons, (b) the emotions inferred from facial expressions, and (c) dimensions implicit in comparative judgments of emotions indicated both similarities and differences in how the emotions are categorized in different languages and cultures. Five hypotheses are reviewed: (a) Basic categories of emotion are pancultural, subordinate categories culture specific; (b) emotional focal points are pancultural, boundaries culture specific; (c) emotion categories evolved from a single primitive category of physiological arousal; (d) most emotion categories are culture specific but can be defined by pancultural semantic primitives; and (e) an emotion category is a script with both culture-specific and pancultural components.

“…Then, too, the words "depressed" and "anxious" are absent from the languages of some cultures, among them certain American Indian and Alaskan Native cultures (6,7). Their absence, however, does not in and of itself preclude the existence of related affect, or even of analogous categories of illness.…”

This special review summarizes and illustrates the state of our knowledge regarding the mental health needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives. These needs are considerable and pervasive. The discussion begins by reflecting on the limits of psychiatric nomenclature and conceptual frameworks for revealing Native constructions of mental health and mental illness. The experience and manifestation of psychopathology can be both different and the same across cultures, hinging upon the extent to which such basic assumptions as the relationship of mind to body--and spirit in the case of Native people--or the primacy of the individual or social collective are shared. Having set the stage, this paper moves to recent empirical evidence regarding the mental health needs of American Indians and Alaska Natives: we review that evidence and consider it within the broader context of available services. The report closes with a brief overview of the most pressing issues and forces for change afoot in Indian country in the US. Most have to do with the structure and financing of care as tribes and other Native community-based organizations seek to balance self-determination and resource management to arrive at effective, fiscally responsible, culturally informed prevention, treatment, and aftercare options for their members. These changes may herald similar trends among First Nations people to the immediate north.

“…Se han observado algunos ejemplos en idiomas tan diversos como el holandés (Fontaine et al, 2002) y el filipino (Church et al, 1998), donde las traducciones a priori equivalentes de términos emocionales mostraron diferencias semánticas. Se ha demostrado que los términos frustration en inglés y frustración en español no significan lo mismo, siendo la primera una emoción más empoderizante y la segunda más debilitante (Soriano y Ogarkova 2015); que desesperación significa cosas distintas en inglés, en español y en euskera (Alonso-Arbiol et al, 2013); o que hay lenguas no occidentales que no cuentan con términos para referirse a los conceptos de despair o depression (Marsella, 1980;Leighton et al, 1963;Tseng y Hsu, 1969;Termansen y Ryan, 1970). Este tipo de diferencias son todavía más sorprendentes cuando acontecen dentro de un mismo idioma, como ocurre con la palabra francesa serenité (serenidad), que tiene connotaciones más positivas en Canadá que en Gabón (Hess et.…”

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la expresión de la emoción en narraciones autobiográficas orales en español como lengua extranjera de 20 arabófonos. Se usaron tres fragmentos de películas que inducían alegría, tristeza y uno neutro. Los informantes rellenaron un cuestionario donde aseguraban haber sentido dichas emociones y narraron acontecimientos donde habían experimentado alegría y tristeza. Analizamos el léxico, centrándonos en la complejidad –densidad, diversidad y sofisticación–, vocabulario emocional y las categorías gramaticales usadas para expresar emoción. No hubo diferencias significativas en la complejidad léxica, hubo más palabras positivas que negativas -especialmente verbos, seguidos de sustantivos, adjetivos y adverbios- en ambos discursos, más palabras negativas en el discurso de tristeza que negativas en el de alegría y más palabras sofisticadas positivas. Los resultados revelan la importancia del vocabulario emocional en la enseñanza para mejorar la socialización y aculturación del lenguaje dados los diferentes guiones emocionales entre culturas e idiomas
