Question

individualism, middle to high achievement orientation, and medium to low power distance.
2. People with high power distance expect relatively equal power sharing.
3. People with high achievement orientation tend to value assertiveness, competitiveness, and
materialism.
4. One limitation with some research on cross-cultural values is that it incorrectly assumes that
everyone within a specific country holds similar values.

Answer 1

1.TRUE
People in the United States tend to have high individualism, medium to low power distance,
and medium to high achievement orientation.
2. FALSE
People with high power distance accept and value unequal power.
3. TRUE
People with a high achievement orientation value assertiveness, competitiveness, and
materialism. They appreciate people who are tough, and they favor the acquisition of money
and material goods.
4. TRUE
Cross-cultural studies often assume that each country has one culture. In reality, many
countries have become culturally diverse. As more countries embrace globalization and
multiculturalism, it becomes even less appropriate to assume that an entire country has one
unified culture.
