“…Additionally, in a situation as this, data aggregation is supported by the Mindscape Theory, too, that suggests intercultural and intracultural heterogeneity (e.g. Dockens, 2009;Fatehi et al, 2015;Gammack, 2002;Hatt, 2009;Hentschel and Sumbadze, 2002;Maruyama, 1980Maruyama, , 1992aMaruyama, , 1992bMaruyama, , 1994Maruyama, , 1995Maruyama, , 1999Maruyama, , 2004Yolles and Fink, 2009). The Mindscape Theory proposes that there are individuals in each culture, who have similarities with some people in their own or other cultures.…”

Recent research to analyze and discuss cultural differences has employed a combination of five major dimensions of individualism–collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, femininity–masculinity (gender role differentiation), and long-term orientation. Among these dimensions, individualism–collectivism has received the most attention. Chronologically, this cultural attribute has been regarded as one, then two, and more recently, four dimensions of horizontal and vertical individualism and collectivism. However, research on this issue has not been conclusive and some have argued against this expansion. The current study attempts to explain and clarify this discussion by using a shortened version of the scale developed by Singelis et al. ((1995) Horizontal and vertical dimensions of individualism and collectivism: a theoretical and measurement refinement. Cross-Cultural Research 29(3): 240–275). Our analysis of aggregate data from 802 respondents from nine countries supports the expanded view. Data aggregation was based on the Mindscape Theory that proposes inter- and intracultural heterogeneity. This finding is reassuring to scholars who have been using the shortened version of the instrument because confirmatory factor analysis indicated its validity. The findings of the present study provides clarification of some apparent ambiguity in recent research in specifying some cultures such as India, Israel, and Spain as individualists or collectivists. By separating the four constructs, more nuanced classification is possible. Also, such a distinction enables us to entertain such concepts as the Mindscape Theory that proposes a unique intracultural and transcultural heterogeneity that do not stereotype the whole culture as either individualist or collectivist.

“…Instead, researchers gener ally have compared HRM across countries and then argued that cultural values and orientations are determinants of the differences found (see Arvey et al 1991, Bhagat et al 1990, Brewster & Tyson 1991, Begin 1992, Carroll 1988, Eberwien & Tholen 1993, Erez 1994, Hickson 1993, Maruyama 1992, Yu & Annu.

“…Maruyama (1992), for example, hypothesized that there are four epistemological types (H,I,S,G) which can account for two-thirds of the world's population. He suggested that these four epistemological types can be found in all cultures, although one mode (or a mix thereof) tends to dominate in a given society.…”
