I remember a paper about the The emotional educational in the context school with subjects of different countries of Peña & Canga (2009) and another works by Vilá-Baños about nonverbal communication in the Intercultural communication.

I hope that help you

Part of the reason is to help us understand to which extent emotion recognition is influenced by social and cultural factors as opposed to "innate" ability. This could lead to insights regarding the nature of affect and emotion and its role as an evolutionary adaptation.

Take a look at these publications:

We have a forthcoming paper that looked at the emotional development of text messages sent during the 9/11 disaster (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11031-012-9330-5). I think this is a great area to study from a individual behavioral aspect, how emotions change behavior.

If you go to my publications, you'll see 2, not totally disimilar, papers of 2009 on 'fear' predicates analysed discursively, how they're now used in intercultural contexts, if u'r still interested.
