Cultural Origins of Behaviour & Cognition (Cultural Dimension) , Text 208-219

This is a measurement of something - for example the space in a room. In our case in the study of psychology, a 'cultural dimension' reflects an effort to measure some part of culture. From discussions we've had in the course, you can likely imagine that this pretty tough to do, and is quite reliant on self report data, and a mixture of quantitative and qualitative research techniques.
