Cultural themes of northern Thailand: Knowledge and emotion in everyday life and the life goals of college students

The aim of this study is to enhance our understanding about cultural knowledge and emotion which individuals use in their life goals and everyday experiences. Empirical evidence from a year-long ethnographic study of the life goals and activities of students attending a college in Chiangmai, a city in Northern Thailand, is presented and analyzed. The construct of cultural themes is proposed to explain the cultural knowledge and emotion these students learn and use in a variety of settings.
