Explanation
This question refers to the work of Geert Hofstede, who is well-known in the field of psychology and more specifically cultural psychology. He proposed a model determining six distinct cultural dimensions - Power Distance Indicator (PDI), Individualism (IDV) versus Collectivism, Masculinity (MAS) versus Femininity, Uncertainty Avoidance Index (UAI), Long-Term Orientation (LTO) versus Short-Term Normative Orientation, Indulgence (IND) versus Restraint (RES). This model is employed as a theoretical framework in many cross-cultural studies.
