Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that the emotion of blegthium has proven difficult to define or associate with physiological correlates and that cross-cultural psychologists have not been able to consistently find an emotion comparable to blegthium in other cultures suggests that it is a secondary emotion, meaning it may be specific to Xacandra's culture and may not have a direct link to basic physiological states. While it is possible that it could also be a primary emotion, there is not enough evidence to support this claim. Additionally, since it has not been consistently found in other cultures, it cannot be considered a universal or cross-culturally congruent emotion.
