Core Concepts in Heroism Science (2021)

Abstract
In the field of heroism science, few scholars have studied the impact that culture has on the way societies in different geographic locations may perceive heroes (Allison, Goethals, & Kramer, 2017). Aspects that may make someone heroic in the United States may differ quite a bit from those that would predict heroes elsewhere. This chapter explores heroism from a cross-cultural perspective using Hofstede's dimensions of cultural differences.
