designing usable interfaces with Cultural Dimensions
International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, 2005Co-Authors: Gabrielle Ford, Paula KotzeAbstract:There are as many arguments against as supporting the accommodation of culture into user interface design. One argument suggests that it is necessary to match the subjective Cultural profile of the interface to the Cultural profile of the users in order to enhance usability and performance. In contrast, we argue that the interface design characteristics required to design interfaces to accommodate one side of four of the five Cultural Dimensions proposed by Hofstede will result in an increase in usability for all users, irrespective of the users’ Cultural profile. Secondary data analysis of a prior experiment somewhat supported our argument, but we conclude that further research into the effects of Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions is required before our hypotheses can be accepted.

Developmental Perception on Cultural Dimensions of Undergraduates and Middle School Students
Chinese journal of clinical psychology, 2007Co-Authors: Liu Ming-fanAbstract:Objective;To examine the subjective perception of four Cultural Dimensions and the developmental trends of undergraduates and middle school students.Methods;1760 undergraduates and middle school students were administrated the Individualism-Collectivism Scale created by Triandis.Results;There was age effect in the perception of four Cultural Dimensions of undergraduates and middle school students.With age growing,the perception of collectivism decreased sharply from 42.05% to 27.40% while that of individualism mounted up greatly from 5.01% to 18.58%.The perception of horizontality fell from 47.06% to 40.71%,whereas verticality ascended from 4.14% to 6.19%.Conclusion;The difference of the perception of Cultural Dimensions among undergraduates and middle school students is in the Dimensions of individualism and collectivism,the Dimensions of.horizontality and verticality also change slightly.

Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions in accounting research: a review
Meditari Accountancy Research, 2016Co-Authors: Hichem KhlifAbstract:Purpose This paper aims to review the use of Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions in accounting research over the period 1995-2015. Design/methodology/approach The author combines electronic and manual searches to identify relevant studies using key words like “national culture” or “Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions” and “accounting” or “auditing” or “taxation”. The search yields a total number of 35 published studies. For each reviewed stream of research, the author presents its theoretical underpinning and summarises its main results. Findings The paper identifies four main accounting research topics being reporting policy, auditing, taxation and miscellaneous accounting. These studies use three main methodologies including empirical, experiment and meta-analysis. The review reveals that individualism is positively related to corporate reporting policy, while it is associated with low levels of tax evasion. High levels of masculinity are generally associated with low disclosure environments and aggressive accounting manipulations. Finally, long-term orientation has been examined with respect to social environmental disclosure, and findings are supportive of a positive association between both variables. Originality/value This literature review represents a historical record, an introduction and a guidance for researchers who aim to examine whether Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions may be useful in explaining other accounting phenomena. It also presents the main criticisms addressed to Hofstede’s framework. Finally, it conducts a critical analysis for reviewed studies and highlights their reductionist approach in explaining accounting phenomena and methodological weaknesses.
