Unlike personality, values are learned. They are passed down through generations and they vary by culture.
Geert Hofstede developed a framework for assessing culture. He breaks up his framework of understanding into five value dimensions: power distance, individualism versus collectivism, masculinity versus femininity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term versus short-term orientation.
The GLOBE, as discussed earlier, is also helpful in framing differences between cultures.
