A Comparative Analysis of Arab and U.S. Cultural Values on the Web

Abstract: This study aims to explore the depiction of cultural values on global websites. There exists a research gap in terms of better understanding cross-cultural differences in web communications between the Arab and Western worlds. Thus, we conducted content analysis to examine the cultural values on websites from Arab countries and the U.S. The results suggest that local websites of Arab countries and the United States tend to differ significantly from each other on cultural contents.

“…Cohen kappa was chosen as a conservative reliability coefficient, as it yields agreement beyond chance only and it is appropriate when using two coders for the analysis of categorical data (Neuendorf, 2017). This coefficient had been also used in previous studies that analyzed cultural differences on the web (e.g., Chun et al, 2015;Stepchenkova et al, 2014). The resulting Cohen kappa statistics for the cultural and mise en scene dimensions were the following: COL-IND for post image (0.92), COL-IND for post caption (0.62), PD (0.61), HC-LC (0.47), Composition (0.96), Angle (0.81), and Scale (0.75).…”
