Abstract
This paper undertakes three tasks. First, we describe Americans’ cultural model—their everyday understandings—of embarrassment. Second, we relate their understandings to claims about the cross-cultural variability of self-concepts — especially to the debate over egocentric versus sociocentric notions of the self. Third, we discuss the implications of our research for theories linking culture and emotion.1
