Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In collectivist cultures, the emphasis is on maintaining harmony and avoiding conflict. Direct and open communication may be seen as confrontational and disrespectful, and therefore, less comfortable. In high power distance cultures, there is a greater acceptance of unequal power distribution and respect for authority, which can also discourage direct and open communication. Therefore, both collectivist and high power distance cultures may prefer to resolve differences through indirect communication and through intermediaries.
