Hofstede的“长期取向”（LTO）可能是民族文化最重要的维度之一，因为它强调了从东亚到非洲和拉丁美洲的连续统一体的差异，与教育成就的差异密切相关。然而，LTO的结构缺乏理论一致性。我们展示了一个统计上相似的，理论上更集中和连贯的民族文化维度，称为“灵活性与纪念性”，反之亦然，可以从国家在自我增强和自我稳定或自我一致方面的差异中提取出来，以及帮助别人的意愿。利用来自54个国家的近53,000名受访者的数据，我们提供了一个新的国家灵活性与纪念性指数，该指数衡量了世界东西方地理轴上的关键文化差异，并比LTO或任何其他已知的国家文化维度更好地预测了教育成就。
Hofstede’s “long-term orientation” (LTO) may be one of the most important dimensions of national culture, as it highlights differences on a continuum from East Asia to Africa and Latin America, strongly associated with differences in educational achievement. However, LTO’s structure lacks theoretical coherence. We show that a statistically similar, and theoretically more focused and coherent, dimension of national culture, called “flexibility versus monumentalism,” or vice versa, can be extracted from national differences in self-enhancement and self-stability or self-consistency, as well as a willingness to help people. Using data from nearly 53,000 respondents recruited probabilistically from 54 countries, we provide a new national flexibility-versus-monumentalism index that measures key cultural differences on the world’s East–West geographic axis and predicts educational achievement better than LTO or any other known dimension of national culture.
