Abstract: Critiquing the positivist-empiricist models ofresearch on emotions within mainstream psychology, the present paper highlights the constructionist approach. The paper emphasises the need to look at emotions in terms of culturally specific models and theories of beliefs. In this light, a classical Indian theory of meta-emotions is examined and its implications for a cultural psychology of emotion are discussed.
