Study Notes
Dimensions of Cultural Studies
- The last two cultural dimensions were identified in later research, distinct from the first four dimensions.
- Variations in countries' representations on world maps are due to the different timing of studies that discovered these dimensions.
Cultural Mapping
- World maps referenced are from Michael Minkov's 2007 book "Why We Are Different and Similar."
- These maps were re-scaled to a 0-100 format in a 2010 publication for clarity and standardization.
Flexhumility vs. Monumentalism
- Flexhumility relates to long-term orientation and is represented in blue on maps.
- Monumentalism corresponds to short-term orientation, depicted in orange.
- The color coding illustrates the conceptual contrast between these cultural dimensions.
Interpretation of Data
- Numeric values in the cultural dimensions are not intrinsically meaningful; they serve as a method of organization.
- The focus should be on the overall patterns observed globally rather than the specific numbers assigned.

Description
Explore the dimensions of cultural differences as described in Michael Minkov's book 'Why We Are Different and Similar'. This quiz focuses on the significance of the Flexhumility and monumentalism scales and their representation on world maps. Test your understanding of how these cultural dimensions were discovered and rescaled in subsequent studies.
