“…With the background of the pros and cons above, this study aims to test the consistency of this cultural dimensions theory, especially the typology of Hofstede's score in two countries, Indonesia and Australia, using content analysis method on Facebook posts of several universities from both countries. This is different from previous studies, which tended to compare cultures between countries (Chun, Zhang, Cohen, Florea, & Genc, 2021;Halkos & Petrou, 2019;Huang & Crotts, 2019;Litvin, 2019;Sithole & Abeysekera, 2019). Specifically, this study aims to see the consistency of Hofstede's score from the polarization of each dimension in a national culture.…”

Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory has gained significant popularity since its launch around 40 years ago. Many cross-cultural literatures rested on this theory. However, along with the development of social research, this theory has been a target for criticisms about its methodology, nature, size, inconsistency, and outdated data. Therefore, this study aims to test the consistency of the cultural dimension's theory, especially Hofstede's national culture score. Quantitative content analysis was employed in 600 contents posted on Facebook accounts of several universities in Australia and Indonesia to see the polarization of the cultural dimensions, which were compared with Hofstede's score. The Mann-Whitney U-test was also carried out to see the significance of polarization in each dimension. The results of this study confirmed the inconsistency of Hofstede's cultural dimension score in one of six main findings. The implications of the findings are also discussed in relation to several criticisms of this theory.

“…For instance, Rauthmann et al (2015; see also Funder, 2016; Sherman et al, 2013) show that people tend to construe situations differently depending on their Big-5 personality characteristics. As an example of the influence of cultural norms on situation construal, cross-cultural researchers have documented cross-cultural differences in the extent to which people construe situations in a longer or shorter time frame (Chun et al, 2021).…”

People care a great deal about their social worth in other people’s eyes, and social worth is an important factor in many social scientific theories. At the same time, social worth phenomena are scattered across diverse literatures under different conceptual labels, with little correspondence between them. In the present article, we attempt to integrate social worth research by focusing on three core questions: (1) What is the meaning of social worth in a particular interaction or relationship? (2) How do people evaluate their social worth in the eyes of their partner? and (3) How do people react when they are credited with different forms of social worth? According to the theoretical framework we propose, the particular meaning of social worth depends on a person’s goals for an interaction, and we draw on interdependence theory to map how different situations afford the activation of different goals. To evaluate their social worth in a partner’s eyes, a person judges whether the role they are accorded by the partner satisfies their own interaction goals. This comparison can yield an affirmation, a disconfirmation, or a violation of the person’s social worth expectations. A person’s reactions to these social worth experiences can be understood as attempts to regulate the situation’s interdependence structure following the partner’s feedback. We review social worth-related research from different research areas to show the framework’s wide applicability and integrative potential.

People care a great deal about their social worth in other people’s eyes and social worth is implicated as an important factor in a host of social scientific theories.
