CHAPTER

Cultural Tightness and Looseness

This chapter explores the concepts of 'tight' and 'loose' cultures, examining how social norms are enforced across different societies and the psychological factors driving these variations. It discusses the impact of cultural structures on responses to crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and uses case studies to illustrate the balance between societal order and individual freedoms. Through cross-cultural analyses and innovative studies, the chapter prompts reflection on cultural biases and the dynamics of understanding across diverse perspectives.
