“…East Asians also prefer different positive emotional states compared to North Americans. The former prefer low arousal states like calm and peaceful, whereas the latter prefers high arousal states like excitement and enthusiastic (Tsai, Knutson, & Fung, 2006). Racial differences have also been shown in response to interventions, psychological preparation and needs or styles of athletes of different cultural backgrounds (Ottley & VolkweinCaplan, 2004).…”

Professional tenpin bowlers were examined for their stressors experienced, coping, coping effectiveness and emotional reactions prior to and during minor and major competitions. Fifteen tenpin bowlers (male n = 6; female n = 9) completed a diary pack on three separate periods: one minor competition period and two major competitions periods. Tenpin bowlers completed a diary to report their stressor encounters, coping strategies, coping effectiveness, resulting emotions and their intensity on a daily basis. Results showed that the tenpin bowlers experienced a limited (n = 5) number of stressors over time which accounted for 95% of the stressors reported, almost similar to those observed in Caucasian athletes. However, unlike Caucasian athletes our sample reported a similar number of positive and negative emotions. Context (training vs. competitions) and the importance of the competition were found to influence stress and coping process especially at the level of individual stressors. Findings suggest a need to further examine cultural similarities and differences in the stress, coping and emotion process among athletes to prevent misunderstanding and miscommunication. This will allow the development interventions which are not only situation and context specific but also culturally sensitive.

“…First one is HAP and LAP states. Enjoyment consists of high and low arousal positive states (Tsai, Knutson & Fung, 2006). HAP states are associated with "enthusiastic, excited, energetic" (Tsai, Knutson, & Fung, 2006, p. 290) and "joy" (Kuppens, 2008(Kuppens, , p. 1054, whereas LAP states are associated with "calm, relaxed, serene" (Tsai, Knutson & Fung, 2006, p. 290) content (Kuppens, 2008(Kuppens, , p. 1054) and "at ease" (Kuppens, 2008(Kuppens, , p. 1057.…”

This study investigates if undergraduate students majoring in Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine (STEM) who have studied Japanese in the Institution-Wide Language Provision (IWLP) context experienced enjoyment in Japanese language learning. This research was held at a British STEM university in London. Questionnaires were used to generate the quantitative and qualitative data. The participants were STEM undergraduate students who were studying Japanese in the 2015/16 academic year. The results showed that the majority of students experienced enjoyment and flow in Japanese language learning. These results show that the general assumption that all learning is grim and unpleasant is not necessarily true and that the assumption may be changed. Furthermore, language learning may be considered as the same as a leisure activity such as games, shopping or hobbies. As an implication for professional practices, language teachers are encouraged to be familiar with the concept of enjoyment and flow so that they are able to manipulate to invoke students" enjoyment and flow.

“…Ideal affect is the extent to which people would ideally like to feel certain emotions, a measure that is strongly related to culture (Tsai et al, 2006). Ideal affect more strongly correlated with retrospective reports of emotion than with experience sampling reports of emotion, lending support to the idea that broader time frames of reporting are more strongly influenced by cultural knowledge than the short time frames captured by experience sampling.…”
