These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons(情感符号), which are used to convey a writers emotions by email and text message. The Japanese emotions for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn, while the American emotions vary with the direction of the mouth. In the United States the emoticons :) and :-) show a happy face, whereas the emoticons : (and :-(show a sad face. However, the Japanese tend to use the symbol (-) to indicate a happy face, and (;-;) to indicate a sad face.
“We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that culture tends to mask its emotions. The Japanese would focus on a persons eyes when detecting his or her emotions, as eyes tend to be quite subtle(微妙的),” said Masuda. “In the United States, where an open emotion is quite common, it makes sense to focus on the mouth, which is the most expressive feature on a persons face.”
