There are various sets of cultural dimensions in the literature. Can they be merged into a single system? While previous studies have mainly compared different dimensions empirically, this article takes a conceptual approach and explains how Hofstede’s, Schwartz’s, and Inglehart’s models can be merged into one system. Instead of looking at dimensions from different sets one by one, this study uses a novel approach: each set of dimensions is viewed as one unit covering a certain space of values, norms, beliefs, attitudes, etc. The results make it possible to arrange three sets of dimensions into one visualized system and confirm several conclusions in the existing literature. Knowing how different models are related to each other allows easier comparisons of the results of studies using different sets of cultural dimensions as explanations of extraneous variables.

文学中有不同的文化层面。可以将它们合并到一个系统中吗？尽管先前的研究主要从经验上比较了不同维度，但本文采用了一种概念方法，并解释了Hofstede，Schwartz和Inglehart的模型如何可以合并为一个系统。本研究采用一种新颖的方法，而不是一个个地查看不同集合的维度：每个集合的维度被视为一个单元，涵盖了一定的价值，规范，信念，态度等空间。将三个维度组合成一个可视化系统，并确认现有文献中的一些结论。
