📝 Abstract

This study explores the behavioral patterns influenced by cultural norms across diverse cultural backgrounds, specifically in European, Asian, and African societies. The objective is to identify how social norms and behavioral adaptations vary between these regions and impact interpersonal interactions. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys across three different nations: the Czech Republic, Indonesia, and Zambia. Participants were selected using stratified random sampling to ensure representation of various age groups and socioeconomic statuses. The analysis reveals distinct behavioral trends that align closely with specific cultural expectations and social norms. Notably, the findings highlight significant differences in individual vs. collective orientation in social interactions, approach to authority, and conflict resolution strategies. The study concludes that while certain behaviors are universally recognizable, the underlying motivations and societal reinforcements differ markedly across cultures. Implications for cross-cultural communication and international collaborations are discussed, suggesting that awareness of these differences can enhance mutual understanding and cooperation.
