Emotions have two types. Positive emotion and negative emotion. The aim of this research was to describe positive and negative emotion based on culture. This was a cross sectional study. The technique of sampling used is accidental sampling. The subjects in this research were 145 Javanesse students and 52 non-Javanesse students of Psychology Faculty University of Muhammadiyah Malang.

While, non-javanese people have low preference on positive emotion (59,6%), and high preference on negative emotion (57,7%).
