We can determine if certain cultural mindsets and upbringings influence the way people perceive and express emotions. Because emotion is such a key factor in how we interact and respond to the world, by following the evolution of emotional expressivity in different cultures we can gain understanding about how these groups in particular interact with and respond to the world at different points in their lives. This kind of temporal study will also allow us to define a ‘critical period’ where we observe the greatest increase in growth rate. The critical period could be a timeframe where our brains are the most sensitive to emotional recognition, providing another topic of interest for psychologists in this field. Possible future ways to take this project would be looking at factors other than culture. We can also look at this through a lens of how socioeconomic status can affect emotional expressivity, or how the number of siblings in a family affects emotional expressivity. The culmination of all these findings would provide a larger perspective on how we acquire secondary or learned emotions throughout our
