In this paper the author compares psychological theories of emotions with some models representing cultural perspective, proposed by anthropologists and linguists. The main problem is to concern some conditions of coherence between these different approaches. In the first part of the paper, the author presents the universalistic conception of emotion which was formulated by Paul Ekman. The critical approaches to this theory are analyzed in the second part. The last part of this article is an attempt to answer the question about the possibility and methodological conditions of coherence between psychological models of emotions and the concept of culture.
