Answer 1

Individualistic is the cultural trait in which people take initiative and make their own decisions. Psychologist Dr Geert Hofstede published his cultural dimensions model towards the end of 1970, after researching almost 10 years. The model has six dimensions:

• Power Distance Index (high versus low).

• Individualism Versus Collectivism.

• Masculinity Versus Femininity.

• Uncertainty Avoidance Index (high versus low).

• Long- Versus Short-Term Orientation.

• Indulgence Versus Restraint
