Abstract

Highlights
Cultural comparisons of values represent an important milestone in the development of crosscultural psychology
In order to differentiate between these two positions, and create a more grounded reference, we focused our analysis on three issues: 1.) Can we explain differences in Masculinity solely with reference to demographic factors?
There was a significant gradient along residence size, with the highest masculinity scores recorded from participants from small villages and lowest from participants from big cities, including the capital city
Summary
Cultural comparisons of values represent an important milestone in the development of crosscultural psychology. Beyond Czech and Slovak differences in Hofstedes Masculinity index: An investigation of cross-cultural differences using Hofstede’s and Schwartz’s framework these surveys. In this paper we are trying to explain the differences by relating Masculinity as a national dimension of culture to Schwartz’s value types based on data acquired from the same sample of participants across the two countries. In order to understand more clearly the context of Masculinity in these two cultures and the factors that can explain it, we employed two additional strategies: investigating selected demographic variables as predictors of these differences, as well as focusing on details of Hofstede’s scale related to the measurement of Masculinity in the Czech and Slovak samples
