What is the term for the extent to which the members of a society accept that power in institutions and organizations is distributed unequally?

Uncertainty avoidance deals with a society’s tolerance for uncertainty and ambiguity.

Uncertainty avoidance has nothing to do with risk avoidance, nor with following rules. It has to do with anxiety and distrust in the face of the unknown, and conversely, with a wish to have fixed habits and rituals, and to know the truth. &lt;br&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="panel-24-0-1-8" class="so-panel widget_siteorigin-panels-embedded-video" data-index="17"&gt;&lt;div class="siteorigin-fitvids"&gt;&lt;iframe width="1140" height="641" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fZF6LyGne7Q?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="panel-24-0-1-9" class="so-panel widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce" data-index="18"&gt;&lt;div class="grijs panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-24-0-1-9"&gt;&lt;h3 class="widget-title"&gt;Long-term orientation&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="textwidget"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Long-term orientation deals with change.&lt;br&gt; &lt;a style="display:none" class="collapse-text" id="te858600571"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Read more&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="te_div" id="te858600571"&gt;&lt;script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"&gt;expander_hide('#te858600571'); In a long-time-oriented culture, the basic notion about the world is that it is in flux, and preparing for the future is always needed. In a short-time-oriented culture, the world is essentially as it was created, so that the past provides a moral compass, and adhering to it is morally good. As you can imagine, this dimension predicts life philosophies, religiosity, and educational achievement.<br> </div><p></p> </div></div></div><div id="panel-24-0-1-10" class="so-panel widget_siteorigin-panels-embedded-video" data-index="19"><div class="siteorigin-fitvids"><iframe width="1140" height="641" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H8ygYIGsIQ4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div><div id="panel-24-0-1-11" class="so-panel widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce" data-index="20"><div class="grijs panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-24-0-1-11"><h3 class="widget-title">Indulgence</h3><div class="textwidget"><p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Indulgence is about the good things in life.<br><a style="display:none" class="collapse-text" id="te442203624">&nbsp;&nbsp; Read more</a> </p><div class="te_div" id="te442203624"><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">expander_hide('#te442203624');In an indulgent culture it is good to be free. Doing what your impulses want you to do, is good. Friends are important and life makes sense. In a restrained culture, the feeling is that life is hard, and duty, not freedom, is the normal state of being. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="panel-24-0-1-12" class="so-panel widget_siteorigin-panels-embedded-video" data-index="21"&gt;&lt;div class="siteorigin-fitvids"&gt;&lt;iframe width="1140" height="641" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/V0YgGdzmFtA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="panel-24-0-1-13" class="so-panel widget_black-studio-tinymce widget_black_studio_tinymce panel-last-child" data-index="22"&gt;&lt;div class="grijs panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-24-0-1-13"&gt;&lt;h3 class="widget-title"&gt;Are there more dimensions?&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="textwidget"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since dimensions are imagined, not 'out there', there can be many more.

Here, for now, we work with the 6D model. It has great validity and practical usability. It predicts &nbsp;real-world phenomena at the level of the nation (or region, in some cases).&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/article&gt; &lt;/main&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="fixfoot"&gt; &lt;div class="site-footer grid-container grid-parent"&gt; &lt;div id="footer-widgets" class="site footer-widgets"&gt; &lt;div class="inside-footer-widgets grid-container grid-parent"&gt; &lt;div class="footer-widget-1 grid-parent grid-100 tablet-grid-50"&gt; &lt;aside id="black-studio-tinymce-10" class="widget inner-padding widget_black_studio_tinymce"&gt;&lt;div class="textwidget"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" href="https://geerthofstede.com/contact/"&gt;Contact&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" style="margin-left:45%" href="https://geerthofstede.com/sitemap/"&gt;Sitemap&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/aside&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;footer class="site-info" itemtype="http://schema.org/WPFooter" itemscope="itemscope"&gt; &lt;div class="inside-site-info grid-container grid-parent"&gt; &lt;span class="copyright"&gt;© 2022 Geert Hofstede&lt;/span&gt; • Built with &lt;a target="_blank" href="https://generatepress.com/" itemprop="url"&gt;GeneratePress&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/footer&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;script id="generate-a11y"&gt;!function(){"use strict";if("querySelector"in document&amp;&amp;"addEventListener"in window){var e=document.body;e.addEventListener("mousedown",function(){e.classList.add("using-mouse")}),e.addEventListener("keydown",function(){e.classList.remove("using-mouse")})}}(); <script id="generate-menu-js-extra"> var generatepressMenu = {"toggleOpenedSubMenus":"1","openSubMenuLabel":"Open Submenu","closeSubMenuLabel":"Close Submenu"};
