This theory was brought up by Geert Hofstede. He found out six dimensions of behavioral patterns in different cultures that we can differentiate with.


These six dimensions are:


Power DIstance; collectivism vs. individualism; uncertainty avoidance index; mascilinity vs. femininity; short-term orientation vs long-term orientation; restraint vs; indulgence.



Countries fall somewhere between the extremes of these six dimension..



They are aptly named after the person that brought the theory up as Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions.


He completed a survey of over 100,000 people spanning over 70 countries to come up with this theory, and this theory is still widely held and taught to this day despite having some modern criticisms.
