Document Summary
Cultural syndromes patterns of shared attitudes, beliefs, or values that are organized around a theme and largely shared by members of an identifiable group: e. g. Tightness and complexity, mastery and conservatism and power distance and uncertainty avoidance. Individualism-collectivism (ic) focusing on oneself either as an individual or as a member of a significant in-group: independent vs. interdependent views of the self, idocentrism-allocentrism, agency-communion. Western, specifically north american, cultures are typically characterized as scoring high in individualism. Cultures in the ret of the world, particularly east asia, are usually described as embracing the values of collectivism. Moderacy response styles people from one culture are more likely to answer toward the center of a scale than are people rom another: translation errors can produce measures conveying different meanings across cultures. Deprivation model people value what they do not have: seems especially problematic for comparisons of values and is less an issue for comparisons of traits.
