Aims and Scopes

CROSS-CULTURAL RESEARCH aims to advance the understanding of cultural influences on human behavior and social phenomena through rigorous empirical research and theoretical exploration.
  1. Cross-Cultural Leadership Studies:
    The journal emphasizes research on leadership behaviors and cultural determinants, particularly within diverse cultural settings, such as Slavic nations and beyond.
  2. Societal Culture and Individual Behavior:
    It explores how societal culture shapes individual behaviors, preferences, and values, with a focus on comparative analysis across different nations.
  3. Impact of Historical Context on Culture:
    The journal frequently investigates how historical events and social structures influence contemporary cultural dynamics and leadership styles.
  4. Quantitative and Qualitative Methodologies:
    CROSS-CULTURAL RESEARCH employs a mix of quantitative and qualitative research methodologies, including surveys, ethnographic studies, and statistical analyses to draw comprehensive insights from diverse cultural contexts.
  5. Interdisciplinary Approaches:
    The journal encourages interdisciplinary research, integrating insights from sociology, psychology, anthropology, and political science to address complex cultural issues.
Recent publications in CROSS-CULTURAL RESEARCH highlight several emerging themes that reflect the evolving landscape of cross-cultural studies.
  1. Leadership in Diverse Cultural Contexts:
    There is a growing trend towards examining leadership styles and behaviors within specific cultural contexts, particularly in Slavic nations, revealing a deeper understanding of regional variations.
  2. COVID-19's Cultural Impact:
    Research exploring the cultural impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including behavioral changes and societal responses, has surged, indicating its relevance in contemporary studies.
  3. Cultural Influences on Mental Health:
    Emerging studies focus on the relationship between cultural values and psychological well-being, addressing how cultural context affects mental health outcomes.
  4. Value Systems and Environmental Attitudes:
    Investigations into how differing cultural value systems influence environmental attitudes and behaviors are gaining prominence, reflecting a global concern for sustainability.
  5. Gender and Cultural Dynamics:
    There is an increasing interest in exploring gender roles and dynamics within cultural frameworks, particularly in relation to leadership and social behaviors.

Declining or Waning

While CROSS-CULTURAL RESEARCH continues to evolve, certain themes have seen a decline in prominence based on recent publication trends.
  1. Generalized Cross-Cultural Comparisons:
    There appears to be a reduced focus on broad, generalized cross-cultural comparisons, with more emphasis now placed on specific cultural contexts and detailed investigations.
  2. Cultural Studies without Empirical Data:
    The journal has shifted away from purely theoretical cultural studies lacking empirical data, favoring studies grounded in quantitative or qualitative research.
  3. Historical Studies of Culture:
    Research focusing solely on historical aspects of culture, without connecting them to contemporary implications, has become less prevalent.
  4. Overly Broad Psychological Constructs:
    The application of overly broad psychological constructs in cross-cultural contexts seems to be waning, as more nuanced and context-specific approaches gain traction.
