Hofstede's Dimensions is a framework for understanding cultural differences across various countries and societies. Developed by Geert Hofstede, it identifies six key dimensions that influence how cultures vary in their values and behaviors, including Power Distance, Individualism vs. Collectivism, Masculinity vs. Femininity, Uncertainty Avoidance, Long-Term vs. Short-Term Orientation, and Indulgence vs. Restraint. This framework is particularly useful in cross-cultural communication and survey design, as it helps researchers account for the impact of cultural factors on responses and interpretations.
