Fig. 2: Cultural distance of education groups from all countries.

For every country, the mean cultural distance (CFST) between people living in that country and people living in other countries with high levels of education (red points), people living in other countries with mid levels of education (pink points), and people living in other countries with low levels of education (blue points). Each row depicts the cultural distance between residents and nonresidents of a different country, grouped by the continent of the reference country. Countries are ordered by the size of the effect, ranging from (top) countries where highly educated nonresidents are much closer in cultural values to residents of that country than less educated nonresidents are to people of that country, e.g., Japan, to (bottom) countries where highly educated nonresidents are much more distant in cultural values and less educated nonresidents are more culturally similar to people of that country, e.g., Indonesia.
