Isi artikel

Affluence and climate are related to individualism, suggesting the importance of the material environment on culture. However, the symbolic environment, as represented by the symbolic environment, as represented by language, may also play a significant role. The effects of gross national product (GNP) per capita, latitude and pronoun drop (whether the subject of a sentence can be dropped) as variables that tap the material and symbolic environments on hofstede's individualism were examined. GNP per capita and latitude had overall positice effects on individualism, but this was moderated by pronoun drop. The effect of economic affluence on culture was greater, but the effect of climate smaller, in the countries whose language does not permit pronoun drop than in those countries whose pronouns can be dropped in utterances. A moderating effect of symbolic factors on the material environment - culture relationship was discussed.
