Answer to Question 1

Answer: Ekman showed pictures of emotional facial expressions of people from the United States to people in New Guinea and of people from New Guinea to people in the United States. People from both countries could identify the emotions expressed in the pictures. Since performance on the task was similar across cultures, Ekman concluded that the emotions were basic emotions that can be universally recognized.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Emotions refer to relatively brief episodes of synchronized responses that indicate the evaluation of an internal or external event as significant, whereas moods refer to diffuse affective states (low intensity and long duration) of subjective feeling.
