English Definitions:
Power distance
Power distance is the strength of societal social hierarchy—the extent to which the lower ranking individuals of a society accept and expect that power is distributed unequally. It is primarily used in psychological and sociological studies on societal management of inequalities between individuals, and individual's perceptions of that management. People in societies with a high power distance are more likely to conform to a hierarchy where "everybody has a place and which needs no further justification". In societies with a low power distance, individuals tend to try to distribute power equally. In such societies, inequalities of power among people would require additional justification.Dutch Psychologist Geert Hofstede was the first to conduct a major cross cultural study on power distance. He created the Power Distance Index as a way of measuring whether a country has high, moderate, or low power distance. In a country with high power distance, someone in a position with a lot of power, is respected and looked up to while in a country with low power distance, someone in a position of power is not viewed or treated with such a high level of respect.
