Health Information Search During COVID-19: Does Culture Matter?
Journal of Intercultural Communication Research. 2025. Vol. 53. No. 5-6. P. 200–217.
This paper focuses on the aspects of intersection between the COVID-19 pandemic, Google search queries, and cultural dimensions of countries. Google Trend indices of 138 countries were collected for the topic “coronavirus” and analyzed to identify the determinants of abnormal health search intensity. Registered cases of COVID-19 in a country did not predict search patterns, yet deaths registered within a country did increase health search intensity. Abnormal health search behaviours were best explained using Hofstede’s cultural dimensions of power distance, masculinity, and long-term orientation.

We derive bounds on the gradient and Hessian of the log-CDF, ln F(x), of the multivariate normal distribution. These bounds scale linearly and quadratically in ‖x‖ , respectively, with constants depending only on the covariance matrix. We demonstrate the usefulness of these bounds by proving asymptotic normality of the maximum-likelihood estimator of the multivariate probit ...

The paper is the first attempt in the Russian literature to assess returns to platform employment in the Russian labor market.

Individualism–collectivism (I-C), the most widely researched cultural dimension, is often equated with Hofstede’s pioneering nation scores. Concerns are growing about these scores’ validity, but subsequent research has not produced a widely accepted alternative. Here, we offer a refined theoretical conceptualization of I-C, we systematically reevaluate the validity of Hofstede’s I-C scores, and we report the ...
