Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Hofstede's cultural dimensions, the masculine-feminine orientation refers to values such as assertiveness, competition, and achievement (masculine) vs. caring, nurturing, and quality of life (feminine). However, it does not refer to which gender holds power in a given culture (option A). The modest and caring poles refer to the cultural dimensions of restraint vs. indulgence (option B), which are different from the gender orientation dimension. In masculine cultures, it is typically men who are more assertive and competitive than women (option D). However, option E describes a culture that values both self-promotion and caring for society's weaker members, which fits well with the feminine dimension. Option C is the only statement that accurately describes the cultural orientation of the United States as placing a high value on assertiveness and competition.
