Confucian dynamism, also known as long-term orientation, is a dimension that reflects a society's attitude towards time, its perseverance, and its ability to adapt traditions to modern contexts. Countries with Confucian influence like China, Japan, and Thailand tend to score high on this dimension due to the influence of Confucian values that emphasize long-term commitments and respect for tradition. New Zealand, lacking this cultural heritage, scores lower on Confucian dynamism compared to these Asian countries.
