In addition to the Hofstede cultural dimensions theory, I have als found this TEDx Talk video on Cross cultural communication by Pellegrino Riccardi - https://youtu.be/YMyofREc5Jk - You often believe what people tell you, but at the end of the day, it is your own experience that counts and also leads to your own judgements.
