This dimension concerns how the people view the picture of life and also concerns the degree of involvement in relationships. Generally people from specifically-oriented cultures analyze elements separately, then put them back together again (The saying, ”viewing the whole is the sum of its parts”). Specifically-oriented individuals concentrate on hard facts. People from diffusely-oriented cultures are the opposite, they see each element in the perspective of the complete picture; all elements are related to each other. The elements are synthesized into a whole which is more than simply the sum of its parts. On the relationship level, specifically-oriented individuals engage others in specific areas of life, affecting single levels of personality. Diffusely-oriented individuals engage others diffusely in multiple areas of life, affecting several levels of personality at the same time. In such societies, every life space and level of personality tends to be interwoven.
