Hierarchical clustering of societies based on fundamental social motives measured in Wave 2. The dendrogram illustrates societies’ similarity on overall fundamental social motive (FSM) profiles (N = 6,917 participants) in the Wave 2 data collection. Two countries that branch apart farther from the center are more similar than two countries that branched apart closer to the center. The color of a country’s link represents its membership to a main cluster (two clusters: red and blue), whereas the color of its name represents its membership to a sub-cluster (five sub-clusters). The radar chart next to each cluster of the dendrogram shows average z-scores of each FSM subscale for all countries in that cluster. Subscales are Self-Protection (SPO), Disease Avoidance (DIS), Affiliation (Group) (AFG), Affiliation (Independence) (AFI), Affiliation (Exclusion Concern) (AFX), Status (STA), Mate Seeking (MAT), Breakup Concern (MRB), Mate Retention (MRT), Kin Care (Family) (KCF).
