Display rules influence what is considered to be appropriate expressions of emotion among different cultures.
C
Individuals in different cultures differ in how much of their emotions are revealed through personal expressions.
D
Ways that emotions are categorized in Western cultures are often different from other cultures.

Explanation

Social gestures do not have the same meaning across all cultures, so they can be difficult to interpret without knowing the cultural context. Display rules shape which emotional expressions are considered appropriate, and cultures can differ in how openly people express emotions and how they categorize them. Therefore, the statement that social gestures are the same across cultures is not true.
