Relational
This value orientation pertains to human relations and has three subdivisions: Individualistic, Lineal, and Collateral. All societies and subgroups must pay atten- tion to all of these, but they rank-order them differently. Individualistic societies value individual autonomy over the welfare of the group. Families are more nuclear, and mobility is often high. Lineal refers to the relationship through age and genera- tional differences that gives cultural continuity. There is a definite position in a hierarchy of ordered positions based on hereditary factors. Collateral refers to social status. Relationships are extended to larger household groups and communi- ties in group-oriented societies.
