The Dutch scholar Gerard Hofstede, in his work "Cultural Consequences", points out a number of criteria to describe national cultures, now known as the "Hofstede dimensions". Today, the Hofstede dimensions constitute one of the most popular paradigms in the field of intercultural psychology. Hofstede’s theory is as close as can be imagined to understanding the essence of the social arena.

This article presents a typology of culture based on the "Hofstede criteria" and a social study of the behavioral features and self-image of immigrants. The author traces the influence of particular cultural stereotypes, standards of behavior, and system of images on the process of identification and social roles. Analyzing the notion of "culture of honor", introduced by M. Gladwell, D. Fisher, and others, using the "Hofstede criteria", Koneva introduces a typology of culture based on the system of images important for culture and social relationships, offering a typology of culture as a typology of identity. Koneva explores concepts such as the culture of honor, culture of cooperation, and culture of responsibility as well as their resemblances and differences and their dynamics in the conditions of globalization.
