ABSTRACT | Culture is a key element in determining emotions that people experience when facing death.
Recent studies revealed a specic emotion schema for the aective response to death (in comparison with
unpleasant/violence-related stimulus), inuenced by dierences in the personalities and learning processes
of the individuals, on the one hand, and dierences in the cultural and social contexts of the two groups,
on the other. The objective of the research was to compare the English participants’ aective response to
pictures of death to those of the Spanish participants, who viewed other types of aective pictures (pleasant,
unpleasant/violence-related and neutral). A total of 38 young adults took part in an emotional assessment
using a set of pictures from the International Aective Picture System (IAPS) database. They indicated the
values of valence, arousal and dominance for each aective image. The results show that the images related
to death were less unpleasant and caused a lower activation in the English population, while there were no
dierences in the two group’s responses to unpleasant/violent images.

RESUMEN | La cultura es un elemento clave para determinar las emociones que experimentan las personas

ante la muerte (en comparación con estímulos emocionales desagradables o relacionados con la violencia) inu-

de la investigación fue comparar la respuesta afectiva de dos grupos de participantes (ingleses y españoles)
ante diferentes tipos de imágenes afectivas (agradables, desagradables/relacionadas con la violencia, relacio-
