Ponder about a) the variations in personal values among members who identify with the same national culture and b) a lack of relationships between the cultural value dimensions based on a member’s national culture identity and personal values. How could have diverse individual personal experiences contributed to the a) and b)? For example, although Robin and Emerson identify with the US culture, a highly individualistic culture, Emerson’s score on independence is much lower than Robin’s score. Emerson explained this lower independence score due to his having a very large family that has established strong family norms, put family goals over individual goals, and prefers family-involved decision making.
