504 Notes

30. The correlation between indulgence and age-standardized mortality rate for
cardiovascular diseases per 100,000 population in 2002 (data from World Health
Organization, 2008) is 0.60*** (n 88). After controlling for GNI per capita in

1999, a significant correlation of 0.41 remains.

31. Flash Eurobarometer 247, 2008. Family life, twenty-five EU countries (all except
Cyprus and Luxembourg). Percentage of those who are very satisfied with family life,

r 0.91***. Difficulties in daily life faced by families: percentage of those choosing

unequal sharing of household tasks between partners, r 0.45*.
32. Flash Eurobarometer 241, 2008. Information society as seen by EU citizens,
twenty-five EU countries. Percentage of those who participate in sports every day

plus percentage of those who participate at least once a week, r 0.82***.
33. Eurobarometer 278, 2007. European cultural values, twenty-five EU countries.

Percentage of those who exchange e-mails with family, friends, and colleagues, r
0.53** ; percentage who conduct e-mail or Internet communications with foreigners,
r 0.69***.
34. Euromonitor 1997. Consumption of various food and drink products in 1996, four-
teen European countries plus twenty-four other countries worldwide. IVR correlates
negatively with consumption of fi sh (r 0.48***) and positively with consumption
of carbonated drinks (r 0.62***); it appears in a stepwise regression for consumption
of beer (after low PDI) and all soft drinks (after GNI per capita and MAS).
35. The zero-order correlation between indulgence and obesity in these twenty-
six rich countries (average national rates calculated on the bases of data for men and
women in World Health Organization, 2005) is 0.39*. Controlling for GNI per capita
at PPP in 1999 raises this correlation to 0.48*.
36. Across forty-nine countries, the correlation of IVR with gender egalitarianism
“should be” was r 0.49***.
37. Correlation of IVR with in-group collectivism “as is” r 0.46** and with
in-group collectivism “should be” r 0.42**.
38. Correlation of IVR with performance orientation “should be” r 0.35* and with
assertiveness “should be” r 0.29*.
39. Schmitt, 2005, p. 247.
40. Sociosexuality scores from Schmitt, 2005. The correlation is 0.45* for men’s
mean national scores and 0.54** for women’s.

41. Item F131, correlation across thirty-four countries, r 0.52**.
42. Myasoedov, 2003.
43. The smile norm dates from the amateur photography era. Before that, exposure
times were too long for smiles to look natural.
44. Item E003.
45. Across eighty-three countries, r 0.46***.
46. Across eighty-three countries, r 0.62***. The freedom-of-speech item is also
positively correlated with power distance and individualism. However, in stepwise

linear-regression analysis, the only significant predictors of freedom of speech as a
first national goal are power distance and indulgence.
