Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Display rules refer to culturally specific norms that dictate when, why, and how specific emotions should be expressed or concealed. These rules can vary by culture and are learned and enforced through socialization processes. Emotional norms and cultural norms may also influence emotional expression, but display rules specifically refer to the social rules for displaying emotions. Empathic guides do not relate to emotional expression norms.
