Study Notes
Dimensions of Cultural Measurement
- Two additional dimensions discovered later than the initial four.
- Variability in country representation on global maps due to these discoveries.
Sources of the Maps
- Maps originate from the 2007 book "Why We Are Different and Similar" by Michael Minkov.
- Maps in the 2010 publication were re-scaled to a 0-100 format for clarity.
Scale and Orientation
- Flexhumility: associated with long-term orientation, represented in blue.
- Monumentalism: indicates short-term orientation, depicted in orange.
- Scale values serve a convenience purpose; they do not hold intrinsic meaning.
Importance of Patterns
- Focus on the overall worldwide patterns rather than individual numerical values.
