Abstract

Household income, which is one of the most important measures of a country’s economic state, does not indicate that children live in better circumstances. In the related literature, children are placed at the center of a country’s sustainability assessments and created the Sustainable Child Development Index (SCDI), which displays a country’s sustainable child development scores in terms of health, education, safety, economic conditions, and environmental factors. Taking into consideration the issues about children and SCDI, this study is to reveal the effects of Hofstede’s cultural structures/dimensions on SCDI scores by analyzing a cross-sectional data set of 81 countries with logarithmic multiple regression as an explanatory model. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that power distance and masculinity had a significant and negative effect on SCDI, and long-term orientation had a significant and positive effect on SCDI. For future studies, this study can be beneficial to see the longitudinal differences for the countries covered in this study.

民族文化维度对儿童可持续发展指数的可能影响:一项跨国分析

家庭收入是衡量一个国家经济状况的最重要指标之一，但这并不意味着儿童生活在更好的环境中。在相关文献中，儿童被置于一个国家可持续性评估的中心，并创建了可持续儿童发展指数（SCDI），该指数显示了一个国家在健康、教育、安全、经济条件和环境因素方面的可持续儿童发展得分。考虑到儿童和SCDI的问题，本研究通过分析81个国家的横断面数据集，以对数多元回归为解释模型，揭示了Hofstede的文化结构/维度对SCDI得分的影响。分析结果表明，权力距离和男性气质对SCDI有显著的负面影响，而长期取向对SCDI也有显著的正面影响。对于未来的研究，这项研究有助于了解本研究所涵盖国家的纵向差异。

期刊介绍： Cross-Cultural Research, formerly Behavior Science Research, is sponsored by the Human Relations Area Files, Inc. (HRAF) and is the official journal of the Society for Cross-Cultural Research. The mission of the journal is to publish peer-reviewed articles describing cross-cultural or comparative studies in all the social/behavioral sciences and other sciences dealing with humans, including anthropology, sociology, psychology, political science, economics, human ecology, and evolutionary biology. Worldwide cross-cultural studies are particularly welcomed, but all kinds of systematic comparisons are acceptable so long as they deal explicity with cross-cultural issues pertaining to the constraints and variables of human behavior.
