value dimensions theory

Value Dimensions Theory is a way to understand how different cultures or individuals prioritize different core values. It suggests that people’s preferences and behaviors are influenced by key aspects such as openness to change versus tradition, or independence versus collectivism. These dimensions help explain diverse attitudes and social norms across groups, showing that values are organized along specific continua rather than being fixed or universal. By recognizing these different value priorities, we can better understand and communicate across cultural differences or personal perspectives.
