“…Table 2 depicts simple statistics of the sample. Similar to the study by Fatehi et al (2015), heterogram analysis (factor analysis combined with cluster analysis) was performed on the completed questionnaires as follows: (a) The raw data on all subjects for the six countries were used as an input, and a correlation matrix was constructed using responses on an ugly-beauty scale; (b) from the correlation matrix, a factor analysis of the items was performed; and (c) the result of the previous step was cluster analyzed. For a detailed discussion on this method of data analysis, refer to Fatehi et al (2015).…”

“…Earlier, briefly it was mentioned that both redundant and nonredundant complexity were the basis for the construction of these patterns. Fatehi et al (2015) only briefly referred to the nonredundant complexity aspects, leaving out redundant complexity features. The following is a full description of the basis for constructing these patterns.…”

Most cross-cultural studies unintentionally give the impression that there is intracultural homogeneity. This research is among a few that suggests otherwise, that there is intracultural and transcultural individual heterogeneity in thinking and logic, or "Mindscape." It is a replication and an expansion of the earlier study. It intends to verify the existence of intracultural heterogeneity in support of mindscape theory. In doing so, it employs a unique way of data collection and analysis. The analysis of data that were collected from six countries not only supports the earlier findings but also points to the existence of intracultural and transcultural heterogeneity of individuals.

“…Additionally, in a situation as this, data aggregation is supported by the Mindscape Theory, too, that suggests intercultural and intracultural heterogeneity (e.g. Dockens, 2009;Fatehi et al, 2015;Gammack, 2002;Hatt, 2009;Hentschel and Sumbadze, 2002;Maruyama, 1980Maruyama, , 1992aMaruyama, , 1992bMaruyama, , 1994Maruyama, , 1995Maruyama, , 1999Maruyama, , 2004Yolles and Fink, 2009). The Mindscape Theory proposes that there are individuals in each culture, who have similarities with some people in their own or other cultures.…”

“…In all cultures, some individuals have similarities in logic, values, beliefs, and behavior with some people of their own and or other cultures. Support for the Mindscape Theory is provided by many researchers including Dockens 2009, , and Fatehi et al (2015, Gammack (2002), Hatt (2009), Hentschel and Sumbadze (2002), and Yolles and Fink (2009). Inkeles andLevinson (1969 [1954]: 424), who established the theoretical foundation upon which rests the proposed cultural dimensions of Hofstede (Minkov and Hofstede, 2011: 12), asserted that " .…”

Recent research to analyze and discuss cultural differences has employed a combination of five major dimensions of individualism–collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, femininity–masculinity (gender role differentiation), and long-term orientation. Among these dimensions, individualism–collectivism has received the most attention. Chronologically, this cultural attribute has been regarded as one, then two, and more recently, four dimensions of horizontal and vertical individualism and collectivism. However, research on this issue has not been conclusive and some have argued against this expansion. The current study attempts to explain and clarify this discussion by using a shortened version of the scale developed by Singelis et al. ((1995) Horizontal and vertical dimensions of individualism and collectivism: a theoretical and measurement refinement. Cross-Cultural Research 29(3): 240–275). Our analysis of aggregate data from 802 respondents from nine countries supports the expanded view. Data aggregation was based on the Mindscape Theory that proposes inter- and intracultural heterogeneity. This finding is reassuring to scholars who have been using the shortened version of the instrument because confirmatory factor analysis indicated its validity. The findings of the present study provides clarification of some apparent ambiguity in recent research in specifying some cultures such as India, Israel, and Spain as individualists or collectivists. By separating the four constructs, more nuanced classification is possible. Also, such a distinction enables us to entertain such concepts as the Mindscape Theory that proposes a unique intracultural and transcultural heterogeneity that do not stereotype the whole culture as either individualist or collectivist.

Local gambling culture and corporate tax aggressiveness: A trait activation perspective on informal institutions

Based on the theory of new institutionalism and trait activation, we empirically evaluated the role of gambling culture on aggressive corporate taxation. A positive association was found between gambling culture and tax aggressiveness, the gambling culture increased the risk preferences of firm executives. The relationship was more pronounced in non‐state‐owned firms, firms with a high proportion of male executives, shortsighted executives, local CEOs, and those located in areas with less intense tax regulation and lower levels of Islamic faith. The findings enrich studies investigating the economic consequences of gambling culture and provide innovative ideas for external regulators to formulate anti‐avoidance measures.
