The correct answer is primary emotions are universal but display rules vary greatly from culture to culture
Cross-cultural research studies have found that primary human emotions are found in all types of cultures and countries- eastern and western countries, and tribal and urban cultures. These primary emotions that are universally found are: anger, disgust, surprise, fear, happiness and sadness.
While these six primary emotions are universally found, the "display rules" of these emotions vary from culture to culture. This means that in different cultures it is more socially acceptable to display or express certain emotions over other emotions. For instance, in a particular rural culture where courage and toughness is valued, it might not be very socially acceptable to display fear, compared to another culture that lays less emphasis on courage and does not discourage the expression of fear.
