When describing ontogenesis in the last chapter, we deliberately limited ourselves to the development of emotions in western cultures alone. Nearly all the studies cited came from an Anglo-American or German context. Such an explicit limitation means that we have proceeded as if one major condition underlying human development were a constant. This is the human-made culture-historical context in which individual development takes place. We have already pointed this out in our third look at emotional development in Chapter 1.
