Definición

  • Universalism and particularism together comprise one of seven “cultural dimensions” identified by the Dutch cross-cultural researcher, Fons Trompenaars, in his book Riding the Waves of Culture. (Other dimensions include Individualism/Collectivism, Neutral/Affective, Specific/Diffuse, Achieved Status/Ascribed Status, Internal/External, and Sequen-tial/Synchronic and some are discussed elsewhere in this encyclopedia.) Universalists and particularists differ in the priority they give to laws, rules, circumstances, and interpersonal relationships when making decisions.
