Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand a really big difference, the objective of individual cultures is the well being of the individual. So, he or she has to look for his or her happiness. While collective cultures tend to look for the well being of the group. Making individuals put the group's needs above his or hers. Thus, showing emotions is very well accepted and even promoted because it is the healthier thing to do. To express them and let the rest know them even if they bring negative outcomes. However, repressing them because the group doesn't consider it appropriate because the repression of emotions is the objective of maturity, and developing strength over them is the ideal of the culture.
