Geert Hofstede, the cultural researcher, explains the indulgence versus restraint dimension being his six cultural dimensions and how it correlates with different factors across cultures. Indulgent societies allow free gratification of human desires, feel healthier, happier, have a perception of control, have looser sexual mores, and a leisure ethic. On the other hand, restraint societies suppress these needs, have strict social norms, lower crime rates, larger police forces, and lower birth rates. Hofstede mentions that the level of indulgence in the world has grown over the past 30 years while the number of restraint societies has diminished, but the positions of countries relative to each other have remained the same.
