Cross-Cultural Psychology Simulator

Cross-cultural psychology compares how culture shapes perception, emotion, cognition and behaviour, and tests whether psychological theories hold universally. This simulator visualizes two of its central frameworks at once: Hofstede's cultural dimensions (individualism vs collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance) shape how tightly a group clusters, how visible its internal hierarchy is, and how rigid its formation looks; Berry's acculturation model (integration, assimilation, separation, marginalization) governs how a migrating group's position and identity shift relative to the host culture. Adjust the sliders and strategy buttons to see a host-culture group and a migrating group cluster, spread, stack and blend in real time.
