"Indulgence vs. Restraint" is a cultural dimension that explores how societies prioritize the gratification of desires. In indulgent cultures, people tend to pursue pleasure and enjoy life, emphasizing leisure, freedom, and personal happiness. Examples of such cultures include those in Latin America and Western Europe, where individuals often express their emotions openly and value enjoyment. In contrast, restrained cultures emphasize self-control and moderation. These societies often prioritize duty, tradition, and social norms over personal desires. Examples include East Asian and Middle Eastern cultures, where individuals may suppress their emotions and focus on long-term goals and community well-being rather than immediate gratification.
