PDI: A measure of the degree to which less powerful members of institutions and organizations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally.

 

Let's take a fun ride into the world of PDI, where power is like a piece of cake. Some cultures are happy with a smaller slice while others might prefer a larger one. 😊

Section 1- understanding PDI

Remember the obedience and authority you learned as a child? Those lessons are part of your cultural inheritance, passed down from generation to generation.

 

Think of this like a family recipe for a favorite meal. Your parents got it from their parents, who got it from their parents, and so on. The way we relate to power is the same; we learn it at home first, then schools, workplaces, and then society.

 

In societies with low PDI, think of them as casual house parties. Here, people don't mind crossing the hierarchy boundaries, similar to guests at a house party helping themselves to the fridge. 🏠

Section 2- PDI & patient-doctor communication

Meeuwesen, van den Brink-Muinen, and Hofstede (2009) took PDI to the hospital, curious about how it might influence doctor-patient communication.

 

They found that nations with high PDI scores (like Romania with a score of 90) were like strict classrooms. Here, the doctor was like a strict teacher providing only the necessary information and not engaging in a flexible chat with the patient. On the other hand, in nations with lower PDI scores (like Sweden with 31), doctors behaved more like friendly tutors, providing more information, and consultations lasted longer, just like a more engaging tutoring session! 🏥🩺
